If you like music, eating and socializing, then the Summit Hill Hootenanny on Sunday is the place to be.

Twenty food vendors, about 45 nonfood exhibitors and free entertainment throughout the day are part of this unique folk festival, which will be held in Ludlow Park from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. In the event of rain, the festival will be held in Hilltop Community Center.

Elise Reabold, Hootenanny chairman, said this is the largest number of vendors since Hootenanny was founded by Sarah Ruch in 2012.

Ruch stepped down as chairman after last year’s event, because of other projects.

Reabold, who has been a member of the Hootenanny committee since its inception, agreed to take the reigns.

Also on the committee is Terri Kane and Clayton Ayers.

The music entertainment for the Hootenanny is:

• 11 a.m. - noon - Pennsylvania Villagers.

• 12:10 -1:10 p.m. - Texas Rose Band.

•1:20 - 2:15 p.m. - Geezer Band.

• 2:20 - 3:20 p.m. - Factory Seconds.

• 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. - SCHLAPP!

• 5-6 p.m. - Bounty Hunter Band.

• 6:15 - 7:30 p.m. - Free Range Folk.

Ruch and her husband, Kevin, are members of Free Range Folk. The band, with its specialized style of folk music utilizing such instruments as the saw and washboard, has been playing at the Hootenanny since the start of the event.

Also performing at each Hootenanny has been the Pennsylvania Villagers, one of the most popular polka bands in the region led by Joe Spack of Lehighton.

Geezer Band, Factory Seconds and SCHLAPP! are all making their debuts.

Other events that will garner special attention are:

•10 a.m. - Free yoga class with Lisa Mo.

• 2-4 p.m. - Dani Long Legs and the Eclectic Circus. Danielle Batula, who performs as Dani Long Legs, was featured in the role during halftime of an NFL football game in Washington D.C. last season.

• 4 p.m. - Free Zumba class with Lia Zius.

•During the day, Ayers will present karaoke for Hootenanny attendees.

Reabold said said people can bring chairs to hear the bands perform.

This is the 10th year of Hootenanny, Reabold said. It has been held every year except in 2021 and 2022 when it was shut down by the COVID pandemic.

Kane said there will be a basket raffle featuring nearly 100 baskets. She was praised by Reabold for her energy in recruiting more vendors and helping to organize the event.

Kane said she enjoys the Hootenanny because it is such a positive event.

“The people; they’re great,” she said. “They have a great time and it’s fun to see them enjoy themselves. Also, it’s fun to see the community come together.”

She said there will also be a 50/50 drawing and there will be T-shirts and souvenir stickers available.

Reabold said she’s thrilled about the many vendors coming to this year’s Hootenanny.

“In the past some people complained about the long lines at the food vendors. With more food vendors, it should help that situation. We have 12 food trucks alone,” she said. “She said, “Bring your appetite.” Reabold
