Washington Folk Festival - Postponed to June 2021
The Washington Folk Festival and the 2019 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
- With great regret and with a primary focus on the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, performers and the public, the Folklore Society of Greater Washington and the Glen Echo Park Partnership for Arts and Culture have reached the difficult decision to postpone the 40th Washington Folk Festival to June 2021. We greatly appreciate the work and financial support that have been applied to this year's Festival and we look forward to producing a great Festival in 2021.
The Washington Folk Festival is a free, two day, family-friendly celebration of the music, song, dance, and craft traditions found in the D.C. metro area. 2020 marks the 40th year that the Folklore Society has presented the Festival.
