Every year, the streets of Pagosa Springs come alive with the sounds of banjos, fiddles, and guitars during the Annual Folk Festival. This beloved event, now in its 15th year, celebrates the rich musical heritage and artistic talent that thrives in our mountain town.
Held in the picturesque Riverside Park, the festival features performances by local musicians, as well as guest artists from around the country. Attendees can browse through artisan booths offering handmade crafts, jewelry, and traditional artwork.
A Community Celebration
What sets the Pagosa Springs Folk Festival apart is its focus on community participation. From jam sessions to dance workshops, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Families spread out picnic blankets on the grass, while friends gather to share stories and laughter.
Preserving Tradition
This year, the festival will include a special exhibit highlighting the history of folk music in Colorado. Visitors can learn about the diverse cultural influences that have shaped our local music scene and explore the connections between past and present traditions.
