Folklore Village

Folklore Village is a nationally recognized folk arts and culture center dedicated to enriching lives through time honored traditions. Since 1968 thousands of people of all ages have come to Folklore Village to gather with friends, meet new people, eat, dance, sing and play. At Folklore Village we have a holistic, fun and engaging approach to learning about the vital web of relationships between people, place, time and traditions. We work to further local, national and international respect and understanding through the celebration of folklife. We call it Cultural Ecology.
