FolkWorks Folk Roots Festival
Saturday March 24th @ St John's Presbyterian Church 10am-10pm

In times like these, nothing soothes the soul and lifts the spirit more than music of the people. Music, dance, laughter, and sharing good times and good food with old friends and new, these are the joyful bonds that have always kept folks around the world together when it looked like everything else was falling apart. This is the “folk power” celebrated and perpetuated by FolkWorks.

FolkWorks is presenting a day long Folk/Roots Festival, an opportunity to experience the culture of other countries…and our own; an opportunity to experience the healing power of music…and learn the pleasure of playing and dancing and eating together.

● 70+ artists - Sausage Grinder, Yuval Ron Ensemble Complicated Animals, Baklava Ensemble, Cambalache, The Susie Glaze New Folk Ensemble, Echo Mountain, Amaro Lumiyo, TheZband, Chloe Pourmorady Ensemble , La Victoria, High Life Cajun Band, Nevenka Ensemble, Linda Alvarez & Friends

● Concerts, workshops, a square dance, jam sessions, folk films & more

● Cross cultural celebration of traditional music from the Middle East, Persia, Peru, Brazil, the United States, Eastern Europe, and Mexico
