Dear Alaska Folk Festival Members and Friends
As we head into 2021 we are full of optimism that the end of the pandemic is in sight, and that we can begin the long process of figuring out what a return to ‘normal’ life will look like. Even as we have great hope that the coming months will continue to see progress with widespread vaccination, we are not able to host an in-person Folk Festival this April.
We know nothing can compare to the feeling of seeing hundreds of smiling faces, and children dancing in the dimly lit aisles of Centennial Hall, as our friends, family members and musical heroes come together to make music for us all to enjoy. As it became clear that we could not safely have an in-person festival again this year the AFF Board decided to focus on what opportunities this virtual format would provide, rather than what we would miss out on.
This April we are very excited to bring you a virtual AFF46 with several different pieces:
I can’t stress enough how proud I am to be part of this amazing organization whose volunteer board members committed to do the work to put together this exciting virtual festival. We all miss the chance to be together in the same space, but the virtual format will allow us to encourage and invite unprecedented participation from people all over our vast and wonderful state.
As committed as we are to making this year as meaningful as possible, know that we are equally committed to produce the Festival that we know and love in Juneau in April of 2022. We can’t wait to ‘see’ you at our virtual festival this year and to be together again next year.
Andrew Heist, President
