Cambria Pickin’ in the Pines was created to offer autoharp and other stringed instrument enthusiasts a supportive venue where all can comfortably relax in a resort atmosphere while being musically motivated and inspired through jamming, workshops, open mic experiences, and concerts. We offer an atmosphere of learning and enjoyment with an unhurried schedule, resort style accommodations and complete meals.
All of the featured performers are there to offer private lessons, for a small fee, should you desire. The workshops are very informative and inspiring. In between all of these events, you can jam away to your heart’s content. Each night we close with a concert put on by a featured performer. What better way to end a musically inspiring day shared with fellow musicians.
Celebrating its 47th year this September, the Walnut Valley Festival, or simply "Winfield" to its devotees, draws 15,000 musicians and music lovers annually from all over the world. Home to both national and international contests in flat-pick and finger style guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, mountain and hammered dulcimer, autoharp and more, the Walnut Valley Festival offers something for everyone.
