WORLDZONE EVENT SPOTLIGHT
2007 National Folk Festival
First presented in St. Louis in 1934, the National Folk Festival is the oldest multi-cultural traditional arts celebration in the United States and the first event of national stature to put the arts of many nations, races and languages into the same event on an equal footing. Now entering its 67th year, this traveling festival has been held in 28 communities around the country. This years event is in Richmond VA. Musicians and craftspeople from every state in the Union and most U.S. territories have participated in this "moveable feast of deeply traditional folk arts" which is now attracting the largest audiences in its history. This years performers include Grupo Fantasma, Henry Butler, Melody of China and more. (See the full line-up HERE)
