About Northwest Folklife Festival
One of the Pacific Northwest’s treasured traditions, the 44th annual Northwest Folklife Festival features roughly 5,000 performers of a variety of disciplines, participatory arts activities, story-telling, and more all from local communities spanning Washington State to Oregon, Montana to Vancouver B.C. Every year the musicians, dancers, basket-weavers and other artists who join us at Folklife share their talents without compensation in support of the community values Folklife nurtures. The 2015 Cultural Focus “Beats, Rhymes and Rhythms: Traditional Roots of Today’s Branches” will highlight in great depth the cross-cultural roots of Hip Hop in the Northwest. Folklife is excited to announce the long-awaited return of the Back Porch Stage featuring traditional styles of American music and the second annual Paperstock event. The family-friendly Discovery Zone is full of lively family entertainment once again, including the launch of Seattle Center’s exciting Artist at Play area and the Festival beer gardens will enjoy for the first time, live DJ’s spinning during stage downs.
