The Washington Folk Festival at historic Glen Echo Park will return this year after a two year COVID hiatus! This will be the 40th year for this local tradition. The Festival will run from 12 noon to 7 pm on Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5. This free, rain-or-shine event is a celebration of the many cultural traditions that are a part of our greater Washington community. This year’s Festival will again provide a wide array of international culture along with American blues, bluegrass, old-time string bands, contemporary singer-songwriters, gospel, and western swing. There will also be storytellers, a crafts market, and much more. With over 85 hours of performances in multiple performance areas, there is something for everyone at the Washington Folk Festival.
