Announcement: The Children's Choir for the 2008 Friday's Concert has been canceled this year. We regret any inconvenience this has caused. The rest of the children's activities will continue as planned.
In 2008 it will be 30 years that Shawano, Wisconsin and the northeast Wisconsin area have presented a folk
music festival.
The festival is at the Mielke Theater in Shawano Wisconsin. See the Photo Gallery. Traditionally there are two evening concerts,
one Friday and Saturday night at 7:00 pm.
Workshops, performances and crafts are presented from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m on Saturday and Sunday.
Typically, each hour will have four stages operating with a variety of
music and dance for all ages. Sunday morning kicks-off with a Gospel sing-a-long workshop. The Sunday afternoon Dance workshops have become a favorite tradition.
All weekend there will be programs that will get children singing and dancing with their parents and grandparents.
Children 12 & Under are Free Saturday and Sunday during the day. Inexpensive food and non-alcoholic
beverages are sold by community vendors. It is a friendly, family oriented event. Click here for directions.
This festival is sponsored in part by a grant from the Wisconsin
Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National
Endowment for the Arts
