Northwest Folklife Festival

NORTHWEST FOLKLIFE IS A 501(c)(3) heritage organization that celebrates the diverse tapestry of arts, cultures, and traditions emanating from a global Pacific NORTHWEST. Since 1971, NW FOLKLIFE'S WORK HAS BEEN ROOTED IN THE SHARED HUMANITY OF CONNECTION AND CREATIVE EXPRESSION AND IS DRIVEN BY INTERGENERATIONAL, intercultural experiences. Our staff collaborates with more than 100 Community Coordinators-including respected artists, educators, tradition bearers, and cultural leaders throughout the region- to envision, sow, and nurture collective opportunities, including the 53-year-old NORTHWEST FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL, our Annual Cultural Focus (2024 -"Meraki"), the Cultural and Creative Workforce Development Program, Youth Engagement through Arts and Heritage (Y.E.A.H) program, and Our Big Neighborhood partnerships. Our programming continues to expand and evolve, reclaiming "folk" as the vibrant, wise, and present future that resides in all of US.SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: ALKI COURT 11:00 am - 11:45 am: Tekla Waterfield 12:15 pm - 01:00 pm: amelia Day and The Cloves 01:30 pm - 03:30 pm: Country Western Showcase 04:30 pm - 05:15 pm: WINEHOUSE 05:45 pm - 06:30 pm: Elnah Jordan Experience 07:00 pm - 07:45 pm: DUNIYA 08:15 pm - 10:00 pm: Martha's DIY Music Showcase ARMORY COURT STAGE 11:00 am - 01:00 pm: International Dance 01:30 pm - 03:30 pm: Tango Showcase 04:30 pm - 06:30 pm: Subversive Square Dance 07:00 pm - 10:00 pm: Balkan Dance ARTISTS AT PLAY STAGE 11:00 am - 11:45 am: Music Together at Music Center of the Northwest 12:05 pm - 12:50 pm: Baby Jam 01:10 pm - 01:55 pm: Joanna Demarest 02:15 pm - 03:00 pm: Bowen Lee 04:00 pm - 04:45 pm: Echo Art Center 05:05 pm - 05:50 pm: Percy Hilo and Friends 06:10 pm - 06:55 pm: Taraful Pajura 07:15 pm - 08:00 pm: Trio/Impro CENTER THEATRE 11:45 am - 12:45 pm: The Bushwick Book Club Seattle 01:15 pm - 02:30 pm: Spotlight on Soloists 03:00 pm - 04:30 pm: Contemporary A Capella Showcase 05:30 pm - 08:00 pm: Liar's Contest hosted by Marte Fallshore CORNISH COURTYARD 11:00 am - 1:00 pm: Pacific Northwest Sacred Harp Singers 01:15 pm - 2:00 pm: Just Us Singers 02:15 pm - 3:00 pm: Harvey Niebulski and Marianne Tatom 03:15 pm - 4:00 pm: Balkan Sing-along with Dina 04:15 pm - 5:15 pm: Tango Cowboys EVE ALVORD THEATRE 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm: The Pa'akai We Bring 5:45 pm - 6:30 pm: Improvised Hip Hoppera 7:00 pm - 7:45 pm: The Crankie Factory 8:15 pm - 9:00 pm: Walden Barnett Marcus EXHIBITION HALL 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm: Hawaiian Showcase 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm: Radost and KUD Behar: Blossoms of Joy 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm: Diwali Showcase 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm: Romanian Showcase 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm: Middle Eastern Dance showcase 7:50 pm - 9:00 pm: Irish Dance Showcase FISHER GREEN STAGE 11:30 am - 12:15 pm: The Geoducks 12:35 pm - 01:25 pm: Billbillies with Tony Mates Calling 01:45 pm - 03:10 pm: Songs of Latin america 04:10 pm - 05:40 pm: Palestinian Folk Arts Showcase 06:00 pm - 08:00 pm: The Residency in 3D 08:20 pm - 09:50 pm: Unkitawa Showcase FISHER PAVILION 11:00 am - 01:00 pm: Sunday Morning Contra 01:30 pm - 03:30 pm: Sunday Afternoon Contra 04:30 pm - 06:30 pm: Waltz No Schmaltz 07:00 pm - 10:00 pm: Swingin' the Night Away FRIENDS OF FOLKLIFE STAGE 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm: Zje Mongol 12:45 pm - 01:15 pm: Nancy K.
