Saturday Workshops

Chautauqua brings communities together through parades, free educational workshops and marvelous shows.  The workshops are an important part of the community-building service of Chautauqua and are an integral part of their philosophy. Workshops enable Chautauquans to make contact with people of all ages, mutually exchange skills and foster the inspiration to continue exploring each subject once they're gone. Chautauqua aims to delight, educate, amaze, and provoke the imagination of adults and children alike. And what an extraordinary array of workshops! :

  • Juggling:  What goes up must come down! Practice the fine art of object manipulation. All skill levels. Learn the basics or pick up some new tricks.
  • Song Swap: Pass the guitar around and share songs. Bring your instruments, your voice and your favorite tunes!
