Featured Performers

Join a weekend of live music and dance.

Along the banks of the historic Suwannee River in White Springs, folk artists have gathered annually to celebrate Florida’s land, people and diverse cultural heritage. Since its humble beginning in 1953, the Florida Folk Festival has not only grown to become Florida’s most prestigious affair, but it also has been named “Florida’s Best Cultural Event.” The festival has been recognized by the Southeast Tourism Society as a “Top 20 Event” in the Southeast United States.

Get ready for a fun and entertaining weekend for the entire family! We’re working to schedule our featured performers for 2023 and will post information as it becomes available. Many will be performing or teaching workshops at other times throughout the weekend along with our special guest artists. You can even dance the night away each evening with a variety of dances, and don’t miss dancing with Papaloko & Loray Mistik on Saturday evening on the Heritage and Dance Stage.  Our full schedule of events with specific times and stages will be posted in early March.
