Florida Folk Festival

About

Running since 1953, the 74th Annual Florida Folk Festival is held along the banks of the Suwannee River in White Springs and draws 300+ performances across folk, blues, gospel, country, Latin, jazz, bluegrass, Caribbean, and zydeco. Beyond the music stage, the Folklife Stage features foodways demonstrations, traditions, and educational exhibits. Vendors, demonstrators, and exhibitors share booth space with food vendors, jam sessions, workshops, and dance lessons. Named a Top 20 Event in the Southeast, it's an established crowd with tourism draw and strong foot traffic across the Memorial Day weekend.
