At this point, the main active fire, The Schultz Fire, is on the other side of the city and the prevailing winds will continue to lead the smoke away from town and the festival grounds. I anticipate no major impacts on the festival at this point. There is no smoke in town and no threat to buildings within the city limits. Please email me with any direct concerns – folkfestival@ffotm.net. Looking forward to a great weekend!

UPDATE (6/22 8 PM): There has been a smoke advisory issued for East Flagstaff overnight but at this point there has been no smoke in Downtown or West Flagstaff, where the festival will take place. We still anticipate clear air and good times at the festival this weekend. I will continue to update the webpage as the week goes on.

I don’t anticipate too much new information here until late winter. In the meantime, check out the other Folk Festivals in Arizona, including Prescott in October and Glendale in March.

We also invite everyone to another great festival produced by the Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music, Pickin’ in the Pines, which will take place September 18 – 20 at Pine Mountain Amphitheater just south of Flagstaff. This year’s festival features a great lineup of traditonal and acoustic bands, including the Gibson Brothers, Claire Lynch Band, Steep Canyon Rangers, Crooked Still, The Freight Hoppers and Burnett Family Bluegrass. We’ll also be featuring Murphy’s Law, Muskellunge Bluegrass, Red Desert Ramblers, Headline Bluegrass Band, Voluntary String Band, Mars Hillbillies, The Bears and the Bees, and Tony Norris & Sid Hausman.
