Festival Stats 2024

contra, gigstats
Each year (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023) I put out a list of how many dance weekends, festivals, camps, and long dances contra bands and callers are doing. I don't really know why I do this, but it's about an hours work on top of that I'm already collecting for trycontra.com/events so I might as well keep doing it!

In 2023 I saw that the total number of events (107) was down 20% from 2019 (132), where a lot didn't come back from the pandemic. This year we're back up to pre-pandemic levels, with 131, which is great to see!
