SUMMARY:Kerrville - Kerrville Folk Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Kerrville Folk Festival \n \n\n\n\nThe Kerrville Folk Festival\, the Foundation’s flagship event\, was founded by Rod Kennedy in 1972. It is the longest continuously running music festival in North America and is a Mecca in the songwriting community.  For 18 straight days and nights\, the Festival offers concerts and activities for all ages that are focused on nurturing and developing artistic expression\, especially the art of songwriting.   \n​ \nThe Festival is held at Quiet Valley Ranch in the beautiful Texas Hill Country\, just 9 miles south of Kerrville\, TX.  (It’s about an hour drive from San Antonio and a two-hour drive from Austin.)   \n \nThe Festival is celebrated by a community who considers itself family and are always delighted to welcome new folks!  When gathered\, it becomes the second largest community in Kerr county.  During the 18-day Festival\, attendance is approximately 30\,000\, with guests coming from all over the world to experience the magic many simply call “Kerrville”.  Even so\, each evening’s performance is attended by 800 to 3\,000 guests\, making everyone’s experience feel intimate. \n\n\n\nOver 1500 outstanding singer-songwriters have been presented on the Festival’s stages since the beginning. Artists such as Lyle Lovett\, Willie Nelson\, Robert Earl Keen\, and Lucinda Williams played the Festival early in their careers. Through the years\, the Kerrville stage has welcomed many nationally known artists — Peter Paul & Mary\, Judy Collins\, David Crosby\, Janis Ian\, Arlo Guthrie\, and singer/songwriter/actor Ronny Cox. \n​ \nWhile many folks come out just to see the evening shows\, many say the heart and soul of the Festival is in the Campground. This is where folks can truly experience and appreciate the abundance of talent the community is blessed to have in their midst each year. Impromptu jam sessions pop up at any time around campfires\, or anywhere folks are willing to listen; it is a 24-hour-a-day treat for musicians and music enthusiasts alike. \n\n\n\nIn addition to evenings of live music\, there are daytime activities such as children’s concerts\, YAPI (Young Artists’ Performance Incubator)\, a universities campus songwriters competition\, the annual Grassy Hill New Folk Competition\,  a songwriters school\, workshops in ukulele\, harmonica and guitar\, hill country bike rides\, canoe trips on the Guadalupe River\, guided nature walks\, Texas wine and beer seminars\, Saturday Shabbat services\, and Sunday folk song services.  There is something for everyone who enjoys music\, camping\, the outdoors\, and making new friends. \n\nWhether you come out for a day\, a weekend\, or for the entire Festival\, you’ll find that the music\, the ambiance\, and the spiritual optimism combine to make this America’s most beloved and respected songwriters gathering.\n\nThe two words that seem to come up most when people describe the festivals is “magic” and “transformational.”  We invite you to join us and create your own magically transformational experience\, and learn why so many come back year after year. \n \n\n\n\nFor more information\, tickets\, camping options and COVID-19 protocols check here!
