The 12th annual Ferdinand Folk Festival, on Saturday, Sept.17, at 18th Street Park, is a free, family and environmentally-friendly event offering a full day of diverse, original music. Many fun, nature, music, and wellness activities for children and adults are also provided to promote healthy communities. Bring your lawn chairs or a blanket for a relaxing day on the huge, sweeping lawn, and mark your must-do events from these schedules.

 

In addition to the many concerts and activities listed below, the fest offers dozens of vibrant ART, ENVIRONMENT / WELLNESS, and FOOD BOOTHS in the MARKET AREA — the shaded area south of the main lawn, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern. Food vendors might stay open later. All times are Eastern; times below are subject to change.
