THE CHARLOTTE FOLK SOCIETY

Celebrating Regional Music and Dance and More
At Festival in the Park
 The Charlotte Folk Society is dedicated to
promoting the ongoing enjoyment and preservation of traditional and
contemporary folk music, dance, crafts and lore.
Their folk stage at Festival in the Park is
one way they carry out this mission. At the folk stage you can listen to a
jack tale, join in a community dance workshop with live fiddle and banjo
music, learn the basic clogging step, learn to play a dulcimer or just sit
back and enjoy the music and dance performances that include a variety of
styles.
You'll hear Old Time, Bluegrass, Celtic,
singer/songwriters, drumming groups, storytellers and contemporary folk.
Come and join in on the fun at the Folk Stage sponsored by the Charlotte
Folk Society.
A detailed schedule is listed on this
website under schedule of events. Check out The Charlotte Folk Society
website at
www.folksociety.org
for more information about the folk stage, membership information and
details about monthly gatherings. |
