Along the banks of the historic Suwannee River in White Springs, Florida, folk artists have gathered since 1953 for Florida's most revered festival, The Florida Folk Festival! A three-day celebration of the music, dance, stories, crafts and food that make Florida unique. From Irish fiddle tunes, techno contra dancing and chocolate covered Key Lime pie, to the wide varieties of music brought by immigrants, the state's cultural heritage reflects the lives of generations of Florida families and communities. Sit with the masters who keep cultural traditions alive, savor the flavors, sights, and sounds, of some of Florida's oldest and newest cultural communities.
At the end of the day you'll have discovered new corners of the state from the people who call Florida home. Join us along the Suwannee River at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, home of the Florida Folk Festival for 69 years.
