Albuquerque Folk Festival
June 16, 2007 at the State Fairgrounds!
Last updated Thursday, June 07, 2007
The Albuquerque Folk Festival is a non-profit event held with the goal of increasing the public's participation in music, dance and other folk activities. The 2007 Festival (our ninth annual!) will be held Saturday, June 16, 2007 at the State Fairgrounds (Expo New Mexico) in Albuquerque. Advance Tickets at discounted prices are available at several locations around town. In the tradition of the folk ethic, the goals of the Albuquerque Folk Festival are to highlight non-commercial acoustic folk music and dance activities in the greater Albuquerque region and to encourage individuals to sing, dance and play music. If you are interested in volunteering to help with the 2007 festival, please email volunteers@abqfolkfest.org.
The schedule of events is pretty much firmed up now under the leadership of our 2007 event director, Erika Gerety. For a one-page, printable (pdf) schedule, click here.
