Fall Folk Festival

Folk music might sound unassuming and boring to the unacquainted, but there’s so much more to it than just guitars, violins and mandolins. At the 27th annual Fall Folk Festival, you’ll see performances from classic folk groups, bands that put an indie spin on folk music, Chinese folk performers and even belly dancers. With six stages to choose from, there’s never a dull moment at the festival — step around a corner and hear pan flutes emanating from one room while the sweet sounds of a harpist waft down a stairwell. Aside from the stellar sounds that’ll surround you, the festival also features a hefty amount of vendors who’ll be selling their wares and teaching visitors about the sensational world of folk music and culture. Maybe you’ll even leave with a new appreciation for the genre.
