Portland Folk Festival
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Portland's Folk Festival began in 2018 at McMenamin's White Eagle as a way for Portland musicians to come together to celebrate the burgeoning local scene and enjoy each other's craft. It was a 12-hour love fest that started at noon and continued until early morning, with 24 local and regional artists performing. Since then, the festival has moved to one of Portland's most legendary venues, the Crystal Ballroom. Energy exudes from the stage, marinated in decades of iconic artists, creating an oddly transcendent atmosphere. The festival continues to bring the Portland music community together to recognize and praise each other, to build community, and to shower each other with appreciation.
See 35 artists on two stages, with all proceeds donated to Sunstone Way and Music Portland.
