2023 SCHEDULE COMING SOON
We're still perfecting a jam-packed schedule of music, arts, environment and of course food for you to enjoy. Until we've nailed it, you can review last year's schedule below!
2022 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
All times listed below are Eastern.
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.
