Skaneateles Festival: Housing Volunteer Form 2025

We invite you to become an important part of our 46th season by hosting Festival musicians in your home. This is a rare opportunity that requires very little! The musicians will need a bedroom, bathroom, and breakfast. In return, you and your family will get a special peek into the life of the performer, and contribute to bringing world class music here to Skaneateles!

This year's season runs from:
July 31 - August 23

Please complete the following short questionnaire for our records as we plan for the housing needs of this year's musicians. If you have any questions please email housing@skanfest.org

6.What weeks would you be available to host? Most musicians will arrive a day or two before their performance and leave the morning after. Some musicians will have multiple performances in a week.
