We hope you are as excited as we are about this year’s Riverfolk Festival in August.
On Friday night we are planning the kick things off with an exciting evening of Bluegrass and Cajun music under the stars.
On Saturday we begin early with the Fiddle Contest and Songwriting Contest. Cash prizes will be awarded and a chance to play on the Main Stage!. This year the Songwriters will compete at the Coffee Mill Cafe in the morning and move to the park later.
