40th Annual Woodstock Folk Festival

Celebrate 40 years of building community through music at the Woodstock Folk Festival! This beloved summer tradition returns to the Historic Woodstock Square with a full afternoon of live folk, Americana, country, blues, Appalachian, and Latin performances from artists across the U.S. and beyond.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award honors the legendary Tom Rush, with additional “Woody” Awards presented to Andy Andrick & Leslie Cook, Marilyn Rea Beyer, and Ron Lewis.

🎶 Enjoy performances from Tricia Alexander, Joy Clark, Mercedes Escobar, Seth Glier, Carla Gover, Anne Hills, The LeftOvers, and Corky Siegel.
🎤 Two stages of entertainment: The Main Stage and an Open Mic Stage featuring Blind Hills and an Appalachian Flatfooting Workshop.
👧 The Children’s Area—newly named for Ella Jenkins, “The First Lady of Children’s Music”—offers interactive music and fun for all ages.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in for a day of meaningful music in the heart of Woodstock. Accessible facilities available. Free parking or ride Metra to town. (No pets in the park, please.)

💛 Bonus: Support a great cause by bringing new or gently used children’s or adult everyday shoes (no sandals or dress shoes) to donate to Warp Corps.
