The Festival is Free to the public and features 8 stages of traditional and ethnic dance and music along with workshops, special entertainment and crafts for children and jamming. Also featured are sales of traditional crafts and meals. The Saturday schedule features a live KPBX Radio show. A traditional New England Contra dance will close the festival on Saturday and Sunday
The festival is designed to support our regional folk musicians. Many local folk artists are hidden gems well worth discovering. The festival features about 100 performing groups representing Celtic, bluegrass, blues, African, Asian, Middle Eastern traditions and more.
About 6000 people attended the Festival in 2008
Several hundred volunteers are needed to work the day of the festival. The festival is supported through donations from sponsors, individuals and selling $3 buttons at the Festival. The festival needs to raise about $18,000 dollars to produce the festival and pay for rent, sound equipment, craft supplies, publicity, printing, security and required building staff. All performers and festival organizers donate their time.
Plan to drop by or spend the weekend. If you must stay home, tune into KPBX 91.1 FM from 11 to 1 p.m. (Saturday) to hear a live broadcast from the festival.
