Saturday, May 7, 11am-9:30pm; and Sunday, May 8, 12noon-5:30pm, Highbanks Metro Park, 9466 Columbus Pike, Lewis Center, Ohio

This event will be a two-day family-friendly festival that will feature multiple performing stages presenting a variety of upbeat folk/roots/Americana music, kids’ programming, and instrument building for youth.

It will also offer 30+ music workshops, an ongoing “jam” tent (all are welcome), a Festival Store, drum circles, and the international touring Saturday evening Headliner act, The Way Down Wanderers!

There will be a beer garden and food trucks on site. Note: you are not permitted to bring your own alcohol onto Metro Park grounds.

Whether scratching your post-pandemic itch involves listening, playing music, learning, or just chilling in the awesome, green outdoors, you’ll find the cure for what ails you at the Central Ohio Folk Festival.

There will be no fixed fees. Your generous support makes all of this possible. Donation tents will be at the entrance to the grounds. Use this link to donate on-site or pre-event.

A pre-donation is recommended if you want to be on our list to register for “inside tent” seating for the Saturday evening Headliner concert.

Hosted by Columbus Folk Music Society.
