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, to eat, dance, sing and play. Come study with a master fiddler… sing with a gospel choir… dance until midnight… learn to make a basket… feast on jambalaya… join a back porch jam session… plant prairie flowers… or picture yourself as a student in a real 1890 schoolhouse… pass it on.

It’s our 2020 – 2021 Annual Fund Drive! And we’re celebrating 50 years as an organization. Help ensure Folklore Village is here for another 50 years!

This year’s thank-you gifts include a Folklore Village 50th anniversary bookmark for all. Donors of $100 or more will receive “Journey Around the Sun,” a CD of traditional and contemporary acapella songs performed by our very own Johanna Gorman-Baer and Disa Carneol. Singing in another 50 years at Folklore Village!
