The Maryland Folk Festival takes place the third weekend in September in Downtown Salisbury, Maryland.
A free, large-scale three-day outdoor event, the Maryland Folk Festival celebrates the roots, richness and variety of American culture. It features about 250 of the nation’s finest traditional musicians, dancers, craftspeople and other keepers of culture in performances, workshops and demonstrations, plus children’s activities, savory regional and ethnic cuisines and craft brews, nonstop participatory dancing, storytelling and more.
The Maryland Folk Festival is dedicated to creating unique experiences of discovery and learning, cultivating cultural and ethnic diversity, and pursuing all opportunities to inspire and enlighten through music, dance, food, crafts, and the traditional arts.
The Maryland Folk Festival was first held in 2023, following five years (including one virtual year) of the National Folk Festival in Salisbury. The National Folk Festival was produced in collaboration with the National Council for the Traditional Arts.
