Festival History
A
Little Festival History:
The
first Fall Folk Festival which took place in 1996 was planned and
organized by Vicki Ball, Carla Carnegie, Dave Noble, and Leone
Peterson. It was held at the Unitarian Church with about a dozen
performing groups. In spite of the unexpected “Ice Storm” 350
people attended the festival. During the next few years the festival
grew so rapidly that it outgrew the Unitarian Church and moved to
Glover Middle School until it outgrew the space available there.
Now the Festival fills Spokane Community College, showcases about 85 performing groups and attracts 7500 attendees. In 2005 the festival expanded to include both Saturday and Sundays Thanks to the original founders and their vision. become what it is today. The Festival is made possible by hundreds of volunteers and performers who donate their time and energy to make this festival a success and to folks who donate money and/or services.
