The Towpath Volunteers Fife and Drum Corps of Macedon, NY are proud to announce the return of the World Fife and Drum Friendship Festival,
August 31 - September 5th, 2023. The festival wil be held in conjunction with Wayne County's and Macedon's Bi-Centennial celebration.
Invitations to the event have already been accepted by fife and drum groups from Saint-Tropez, France; Ivrea, Italy, Ghent, Belguim and Bassel, Switzerland. Towpath's involvement with these European groups started with an invitation to perform at the European Fife and Drum Festival held in Saint-Tropez, France in September of 2011, and, was perhaps the greatest single event the corps has ever been a part of. With the Towpath Volunteers in attendance, the festival was able to call itself a World Fife and Drum Festival. Since then, the Volunteers have performed in Italy twice and in Belguim. The Volunteers hosted the initial World Fife and Drum Friendship Festival in 2015.
![]() Switzerland was scheduled to host the event in 2021, but, due to the pandemic, have rescheduled to host the event in 2025. |
