Description: Welcome to the Folklore Society listhost! We put on the excellent, annual, UChicago Folk Festival, in early February.

The listhost is for weekly meeting announcements. If you're interested in receiving only updates about the Folk Fest and other events, please subscribe to folkannounce@lists.uchicago.edu (https://lists.uchicago.edu/web/subscribe/folkannounce) instead.

The Folklore Society was begun in 1961 as a way of presenting traditional music at the U of C. The Society's major production is an annual Folk Festival, held the first full weekend of each February. Recent fests have included bluegrass, blues, Cajun, Irish, old-time Appalachian, Gospel, Mexican, and other traditional musicians. The Folk Fest currently has 2 evening concerts (Fri. and Sat.) and dances and workshops during the day on Saturday. See our website at http://uofcfolk.org/ for more details. In addition to the annual fests, we occasionally present other concerts and dances.
