Welcome to the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau, Alaska.April 13-19, 2009 are the dates for the 35th annual Alaska Folk Festival
| |||
The Alaska Folk
Festival is a unique event and can be compared more to a folk
life festival than to the Folk Festivals that many of us have
experienced. For the most part, no one gets paid. All concerts and events are free,
but everyone is encouraged to become a member. Performers on the
main stage have 15 minute sets. Dance sets in the dance hall Thursday
- Saturday nights are one hour in length. Applications are sent to all members in
January and are usually due by the end of February. Performers come
from all over Alaska and also from other Northwest States as well as
from just about everywhere else. Performances range from school
groups to professionals. Many come from hundreds or thousands of
miles away, every year. The Festival is a non profit organization
funded mostly from memberships. Admittance to the festival itself is
free.
