Florida Folk Festival

  • When: Saturday, May 27, 2023 - All Day Event
  • Location: Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park

Welcome to the Florida Folk Festival, a three-day celebration of the music, dance, stories, crafts, and food that make Florida unique. Located in White Springs, FL. We are excited to see all the smiling faces again! Throughout the Memorial Day weekend, more than 300 performances give voice and meaning to Florida's heritage.

At the Florida Folk Festival, you can sit with the masters who keep cultural traditions alive. In jam sessions, demonstrations and workshops, try your own hand at playing mandolin, telling stories, or making a pine needle basket. Learn how to collect your family's history, call a square dance, or the importance of native plant and animal species. Take a shopping excursion and visit Florida's traditional and contemporary craftsmen.

Then dine on collard greens and cornbread, chicken pilau and hoppin' john, shrimp gumbo, barbecue, curries, gyros, and root beer floats.
As the sun sets, settle in for concerts by moonlight or dance the night away at the Heritage Stage. At the end of the day, you'll have discovered new corners of the state from the people who call Florida home.

Join us May 26-28, 2023, along the Suwannee River at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, home of the Florida Folk Festival for 70 years.
