Expect lots (and lots) of accordions, a flock of recorders, handmade instruments, a scatter of music-adjacent knick knacks, tchotchkes and art!
Musicians, dabblers, collectors, and the “I played this once in third grade” folks all welcome. Come see what catches your eye (or ear). Accordion to us, it’s going to be a pretty good time!

SCRAP's Impact in 2025
We are so proud to share that 2025 was SCRAP's most successful year in our nearly 50-year history — a milestone built by this community, measured in so many ways...
Behind every number are teachers who stocked their classrooms, young people who discovered a love of making, and neighbors who found belonging here. None of it happens without you! Your belief in SCRAP made 2025 possible and will carry us forward
