The Flagstaff Folk Festival is one of the city's most beloved annual music traditions. Organized by Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music, it brings together local and touring musicians for a two-day weekend built around acoustic song, old-time strings, and the community's deep musical culture.
What to Know
- A long-running annual celebration of acoustic and folk music in Flagstaff
- Presented by Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music
- A relaxed, community-driven festival with performances across the weekend
The festival has a distinctly low-key, welcoming character. Rather than one big stage, it weaves performances and workshops through its setting, giving the weekend the feel of a gathering of musical neighbors rather than a concert for hire.
It is a staple of the Flagstaff summer, and first-time attendees are often surprised by how friendly and participatory the scene is. Bring a blanket, an open ear, and a willingness to discover a new favorite performer.
Dates, venue, and the full lineup are announced each year by the organizers; for the current edition, check the festival's official announcements as summer approaches.
