Summer Gathering Program to come!

The 2026 People’s Music Network Summer Gathering takes place at Camp Grotonwood, Groton, MA.

The event begins with arrival and participatory singing on Friday, May 29, 2026. On Saturday and Sunday (May 30 & 31), we’ll have participatory workshops and song swaps, and a Saturday night Round Robin Collaborative Concert – all highlighting the role of music in progressive social change. Expect numerous opportunities to share music, sing together, and to join efforts to bring music into the heart of struggles for justice and freedom today.

Registration Policies:

Pre-Registration: PMN aims to keep gatherings accessible to all while sustaining the organization financially. Choosing the "Supporting" option enables PMN to keep our gatherings financially accessible to the full diversity of our musical community, regardless of financial means. Please register ahead of time to give us accurate meal counts for our caterer. Payment at the time of registration is requested. However, you may pre-register online and create an invoice to be paid in person when you arrive at registration (check or cash) or by mail (check).
Contributing to the PMN Scholarship Fund is another way to keep PMN events accessible. You'll have the chance to "scale up" on the registration form.
Financial Aid: Registration is on a sliding scale. If you can’t afford the registration price, remember that we don’t turn anyone away for lack of funds! If you can’t pay at least the low-income rate, please contact <pmn@peoplesmusic.org> to ask for a cost reduction and tell us what you can afford. Use the SUBJECT: “Cost Reduction”. NOTE: The cost to PMN for food and lodging at the camp is about $210 per person. This doesn’t cover any of PMN’s operating budget.
Work Shifts: The cost of the weekend is reduced because we share the workload! Please sign up for one or two one-hour work shifts when you arrive.
Cancellations by May 15, 2026 will be fully refunded. After May 15, PMN will subtract $100 to cover food costs.
The Matt Jones Scholarship Fund (MJSF): The MJTF fosters a multi-racial and inter-generational artistic and political community at PMN by covering registration costs (including meals) and travel costs for young people and people of color. Scholarship applicants may request up to $50 in travel stipends to reimburse for the cost of travel. Since 2016, the fund has awarded $27,000 in scholarship funds to people attending PMN gatherings. Please consider making an extra contribution to the Matt Jones Scholarship Fund when you register.
To apply for this scholarship or to get in touch about making a donation to this fund, contact Joanne Tuller, <sc-tuller@peoplesmusic.org>, with the subject: “Matt Jones Scholarship Fund”. Click here for more info on MJSF.
