DID YOU KNOW? Folklife is an open public forum for all communities. More than 125+ diverse cultural groups from the Pacific Northwest present their arts, culture and heritage each year. Yes, there are hippies and fiddles (and we love them!), but also hip-hop and contra dance, film screenings, storytelling, panel discussions, food demonstrations, cultural showcases, and much more. DID YOU KNOW? While there is no admission charge to attend the Festival, we ask attendees for a modest suggested donation of $10 per person to ensure that the Festival is accessible to all. It takes $1.5M each year to produce the Northwest Folklife Festival and our year-round programs, and Festival donations are critical in sustaining our future.
