2003 Schedule
The
Folk Festival schedule is being updated almost daily. You should be able
to display it and print it correctly from almost any Web browser. The HTML
schedule contains numerous links to biographies, web sites, and further information,
and is the best version to view online.
A compact and printable PDF version
of the schedule is also available. It requires that you have Adobe
Acrobat Reader installed on your machine. To
print it, either use the "Fit to Page" option in the Acrobat print
dialog box or use 8x14 paper. This version is now slightly out of date, compared
with the HTML below.
