The Birmingham Folk Festival

Really sweet event at Red Bird this Saturday. People making and sharing.

It's been a few years, but the king and queen are returning to Birmingham! They played at the Lyric last they were in town--it was pure delight. https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/200060F0B79B1134

This is a great organization doing beautiful work in our city. Come to Avondale Park Friday to support this inspiring community event.

A huge part of how the festival remains free comes through small donations of around $25! These trickle in here and there but really add up and say so much about the community support for this event that provides a space free for everyone to enjoy art, music, and one another. Help ensure that we all have this opportunity again in 2025, and for years to come! https://paypal.me/BhamFolkFest?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US

Thanks to all the amazing performers who provided the audience with exceptional entertainment at the 2024 Folk Festival. They were all so talented and entertaining that I'm sure you've had trouble picking a favorite. The Birmingham Folk Festival is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and we are able to host the annual festival free of charge thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and donors.

BFF Presenters are the arts and educational initiatives in our community that do this important work in our community year round.

They curate the music, they facilitate activities and interactive stages, and essentially they are who we need to thank for the richness and depth of art and entertainment in our park this year! Thank you!

Over the next week or so, the Birmingham Folk Festival will share with you photos of the people who made the 2024 Festival memorable and special. This post spotlights all the kids who came out and had a great time!

The Birmingham Folk Festival would like to take a moment to thank our amazing Sponsors and Presenters. The 2024 Festival would not have been possible without their support. We are grateful to you!
