National Folk Festival Preliminary Line-up
When you are making plans for the beautiful Fall days that will be gracing us shortly, don’t forget to save Oct. 12-14 for the National Folk Festival.
Once again, the Folk Festival staff have selected a very diverse and great group of performers. This is the last year the Folk Festival will be in Richmond, next year we’ll claim it as our own music festival and rename it.
Some highlights include:
The Kotchegna Dance Company
Ivorian dance and percussion ensemble
The Holmes Brothers
Blues, gospel and R&B
Jason Samuels Smith & Pandit Chitresh Das – Masters of Percussive Dance
African American tap and North Indian Kathak dance
and Doyle Lawson
Bluegrass and bluegrass gospel

The National Folk Festival is truly top-notch. Virtually every group performing in the last two years has been extraordinarily talented.
