What
IS the San Francisco Free Folk Festival?
The festival is two full days of music and dance workshops, concerts,
dance parties, crafts, vendors, formal and informal music-making, and
just plain fun for the whole family. All ages and musical interests
are welcome. All events and workshops are open to anyone who wants
to drop in and participate or just listen. And did we mention that
admission is free?
How can the festival be free?
We rely solely on donations to
cover the cost of renting the facility, plus other expenses. All of
the performers donate their time and talent
to create this event. Many of the performers and workshop leaders
are members of the Folk Music Club.
There are
other ways to support the festival. The Folk Club and
most performers sell merchandise, we have a marketplace with
musical and
craft vendors, plus onsite food and coffee vendors. A portion
of the proceeds
from the vendors is donated to the Folk Club, so the more you spend,
the more it benefits us. And we’ll have a raffle: you can win
some nice instruments, CDs from participating musicians, gift certificates,
and
other prizes!
How can I get involved?
Since everyone involved are volunteers, we can always use more help.
Go to See the Volunteer Page for more information more details,
or just email sffff-volunteer@googlegroups.com with your contact
info and interests.
Who has been doing this for 35 years?
The San Francisco
Folk Music Club is a local non-profit organization
that was founded in 1948, and is still going strong. Membership
is open to anyone. Read a little about the Festival's
history,
and
festival sponsors.
