-Performers and songwriters are not the only attraction at folk festivals. The program also includes storytellers, artisans, food, workshops, dancers and other types of performers.
-Folk is not the only music genre that can be heard at these festivals, as they also host traditional and Celtic music, blues, bluegrass, gospel and other genres. It's the perfect opportunity to discover an artist or to hear your favorite band again, whether it's from here or elsewhere.
