Nights for Folklife
Celebrate with us and support Folklife!
This winter we are excited to announce our biggest and best Nights for Folklife series yet. From private house parties to public concerts at local venues, our friends have organized Folklife benefits that truly represent the Northwest and what our organization is all about.
Some of these fundraisers are ticketed, others are ‘pass the hat’ or suggested donation, but all events help support the production of the 41st annual Northwest Folklife Festival, Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-28, 2012.
At Nights for Folklife events you can also sign up to become a Friends of Folklife member. For $50 ($40 students or seniors) you can enjoy member benefits. Click here to learn more. Your support helps make it possible for us to continue to provide access to the arts and to afford opportunities for artists and performers to celebrate, share and sustain the vitality of folk, ethnic and traditional arts for present and future generations. .
