Children are welcome at Potomac River Sacred Harp Conventions!


Children are most welcome at the Convention, but parents are responsible for their supervision, as no organized child care will be provided. The Great Falls Grange is located in Great Falls Park, a Fairfax County park which has a fine playground with elaborate playsets for children. If weather is inclement, children can play on the lower level of the Grange, accompanied by an adult.

Parental supervision of children, rather than organized childcare, is the rule at traditional Southern Sacred Harp singings, where children are exposed, either actively or (more typically) passively, to the sound of the music and the concept of community hymn singing.
