Florida Folk Festival 2023

Sit with the masters who keep cultural traditions alive. Hit the jam sessions, demos and workshops, or try your own hand at playing mandolin, telling stories, and 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.

Welcome to the Florida Folk Festival, a three-day celebration of the music, dance, stories, crafts, and food that make Florida unique. Throughout the Memorial Day weekend, more than 300 performances give voice and meaning to Florida’s heritage.

But wait! There’s more! Take a shopping excursion and visit Florida’s traditional and contemporary craftsmen. Then dine on collard greens & cornbread, chicken pilau & hoppin’ john, shrimp gumbo, barbecue, curries, gyros, and root beer floats.
