The Washington Area Folk Harp Society started in 1982 as a group of friends meeting every other month to play tunes together. From this start, the group has grown into a full-fledged society and a chapter of the International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen, Inc.

Continuing with the intent to meet people and learn tunes, our activities include:

Educational workshops
Harp rental program
Listing of local harp teachers in the area
Regular newsletter and bi-monthly calendar of events
Participation in a variety of music festivals, including the Southern Maryland Celtic Festival and the Northern Virginia Scottish Games
Harp gatherings to play music together
Yearly "Harpers Getaway" in November in Gettysberg, PA, with nationally and internationally recognized teachers
Annual Harp Concert

WAFHS relies on the talented and generous volunteers who help run the society. Here is the list of volunteers.
