Northwest Folklife Festival - May 23-26

The Northwest Folklife Festival is the annual free climactic celebration of year-round ethnic, folk, and traditional arts activities produced by Northwest Folklife. Artists from the Pacific Northwest along with special guests from throughout the world create an ethnic extravaganza embracing music and dance performances, visual arts and folklore exhibits, hands-on ethnic children's activities, symposia, dance and music workshops, crafts, food, imported goods, demonstrations of traditional arts, and more. Check it out!

The Media Center is in the process of collecting music from Folklife and other regional artists as part of its Puget Sounds project, so be on the watch for new arrivals in the coming weeks.
