Central New York Tour

The American Travelling Morrice is comprised of morris dancers and musicians from across North America and abroad. While many of us perform regularly with teams in our hometowns, we come together for one week each year to form the American Travelling Morrice. Since 1976, the group has toured throughout the Northeastern United States, as well as California and England.

The schedule for this year’s tour is nearly in its final form. However, check back the week before the event in case there are any last minute changes or additions. We hope to see you this summer.
