The Washington Folk Festival at historic Glen Echo Park will return this year after a two year COVID hiatus! This will be the 40th year for this local tradition. The Festival will run from 12 noon to 7 pm on Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5. This free, rain-or-shine event is a celebration of the many cultural traditions that are a part of our greater Washington community. This year’s Festival will again provide a wide array of international culture along with American blues, bluegrass, old-time string bands, contemporary singer-songwriters, gospel, and western swing. There will also be storytellers, a crafts market, and much more. With over 85 hours of performances in multiple performance areas, there is something for everyone at the Washington Folk Festival. More information is available at washingtonfolkfestival.org.
