On Saturday, September 9, from 11 a.m. to 10p.m., the CT Folk Festival & Green Expo presents their annual free festival of live music, cultural performances, green workshops, children’s activities and more at New Haven’s beautiful Edgerton Park.
The Green Expo highlights over seventy-five exhibitors that include handmade artisans and exhibitors with innovative ideas and products for sustainable lifestyles.
The New Alliance Foundation Performance Tent will host cultural performances such as Healing Drums percussion workshops, “green” presentations, and garden tours.
For all families, the Green Kids’ Village offers hands-on activities and entertainment to engage children of all ages including yoga and hooping workshops, an arts & creativity corner, ongoing projects all day and our huge puppet parade at 3:45pm.
Festival Director, Nicole Mikula and the CT Folk Board of Directors unveil a lineup that celebrates the best in folk music and beyond.
New for 2017, The Ballroom Thieves and Livingston Taylor will co-headline the main stage as well as highlighting Forlorn Strangers.
Also, to grace the stage for the Grassy Hill Song Circle set will be End of America and LadyBird, named appropriately after the festival’s top sponsor, Grassy Hill Entertainment.
Now in its second decade, The CT Folk Festival & Green Expo has organically grown into one of Connecticut’s leading folk festivals as well as presenting the largest Green Expo in the state.
The festival has earned its reputation by attracting premier talent across all mediums to provide a landscape meant to please all the senses.
The festival’s mixture of arts, cuisine and culture proves there is something for everyone.
Proceeds will benefit CT Folk, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to traditional and contemporary roots music and to caring for the earth.
