After months of planning, we are happy and excited that just hours remain until the beginning of the 2010 Flagstaff Folk Festival. We’ll have everything in place first thing Saturday morning for a great weekend of music and fun in one of the largest events of its kind in Arizona.
If you’re still making plans to attend check out the ‘details’ link above to get all the information you’ll need for a great weekend. If you’re on the fence about coming….WHY? 4 Stages, 110+ acts, workshops, jams, history, food, and fun, all under the pines in the great cool summer weather of Flagstaff.
We’ll see you this weekend!
We’ve received a number of calls and emails from folks concerned about the recent forest fires around Flagstaff impacting the festival. 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 have posted the 2010 Schedule on the Schedule Page. It’s packed full of exciting performances and great workshops & jams. Check it out!
As of today I have received 46 solo and 30 band registrations for this year’s festival. Last year we had a total of 110 performance slots so there’s still room for performers wishing to play this year – but I have a feeling that space will get tight as the May 15th registration deadline approaches. Please go to flagfolkfest.org/performers to learn more and to register
Performer registration for the 2010 Festival is now open. For more information and to register, go to the performers’ page or click on ‘Booking’ above.
