Glen Echo Park Maryland

33rd Annual Washington Folk Festival

All information in this program is current as of May 20, 2013, and is subject to change without notice.

Welcome to the 33rd Annual Washington Folk Festival! The Folklore Society of Greater Washington is pleased to once again bring you this celebration of Washington’s diverse cultural heritage. The festival commemorates the heritage of

the past but also welcomes the new. For two full days, the festival presents seven stages of continuous performances and workshops for every interest and every age, and all for FREE. We hope you will take advantage of the informal setting of the festival to meet and talk to these talented performers and crafters who are your neighbors.

The Washington Folk Festival exists only because everyone involved with this event volunteers their time. This includes all of the performers, the sound and stage crews, and all of the staff. It’s a truly talented group of people who are devoted to maintaining and promoting the traditional arts. We also want to recognize our co-sponsors, the Glen Echo Partnership for Arts and Culture, the National Park Service, Montgomery County, the Richmond Folk Festival, and our media sponsor, WAMU 88.5 FM. We want to thank all our partners for their continued support and generosity.

We want to add a special thanks to all of the festival visitors who have so generously contributed with their cash donations. If you look around, you will see many of your fellow festival goers wearing their donation buttons. These cash donations from festival patrons are the primary source of funds which make this festival possible. You can get your button, and help this event to continue, by stopping by the information tent near the carousel.

There are a lot of things going on at this year’s festival, and we hope that you sample as much as you can. We encourage you to try out some things that may not be familiar to you, including our fine tellers of tales in the Storytelling Area, the exquisite crafts in the Bumper Car Pavilion, and the opportunity to dance in the Spanish Ballroom. We hope you will have a great time meeting and learning about your neighbors here at the Washington Folk Festival! Folklore Society of Greater Washington

W e are pleased to welcome you back to Glen Echo Park for the 33rd

Washington Folk Festival. As a mainstay of the Park’s history for three decades, the Festival not only brings together amazing artists and performers through exceptional programs, but reminds us of the Park’s year-round commitment to bring arts and cultural programs to the community.

It has become one of the largest and most active groups in the country supporting the traditional arts.
