Note - winter parking
During the winter, some parking areas are blocked off by green cones.
Please do not bypass the cones. The lot across the street from the barn will
be open for parking.
The Where and When of Weekly Dancing
We start dancing at 7:30 pm. Note location above
You may enter Fermilab from either the East or West sides. Tell
the guard that you are coming to Scottish Dancing.
During the Summer - typically early June through August, we dance
on the stage in the auditorium. The auditorium is on the south side
of the Hi-Rise. You may NOT park near the auditorium. Use the
parking lot on the west side of the hi-rise and enter the auditorium
through the breeze way.
Most of the year we dance in the Kuhn Barn. The barn is located
in the village on the east side of the site. It is visible to the
north when you stop at the stop sign in the village. Parking is
available just north of the barn, or across the street.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact us (see below).
