The Sarasota Folk Festival

This will be the sixth annual folk festival sponsored by the Sarasota Folk Club. We will do our best to keep you up to date on details as the Festival approaches.

When and Where

On Saturday and Sunday, March 14th and 15th, 2009 at Oscar Scherer State Park, Osprey, FL. There will be a full day of music on Saturday. On Sunday, the festival will end at 3pm. Three stages plus a workshop area are planned. A hospitality area will be available for performers to check-in, have a beverage and snack and leave their instruments in a safe place.

Status

On Wednesday, June 11, the festival committee met at Oscar Scherer State Park for the fourth time. This time we were there to check over stage locations and electrical power requirements. So far it looks like we have enough electrical power available for sound and lights without needing a generator--yippee! The Saturday evening show will be from 6 to 10pm—performers are being lined up—stay tuned—does anyone have a fone number for Joan Baez—ok, that my be outside our budget.
