The 2024 Banjo Gathering will be held in Lansing, Michigan from Thursday, October 24 to Sunday, October 27, at the Hilton Garden Inn. In addition to a field trip to Elderly Instruments, we look forward to highlighting Midwestern and Canadian banjo makers, players, stylings, as well as presentations and panels that explore the history, design, and cultural context of the banjo. We will begin accepting panel and presentation proposals in late April.
The Gathering consists of three full days of presentations, exhibitions, and a banjo marketplace for studying, buying, selling, and trading historical and vintage banjos, parts, and related items. We also have banjos from some of the world’s finest instrument makers available to view and buy/trade.
Since 1998, the Banjo Gathering has been the platform for banjo collectors, researchers, instrument builders, and musicians to share new scholarship and findings about the banjo as a historical, cultural, and built object.
