Northwest Folklife Festival

Northwest Folklife is a 501(c)(3) heritage organization that celebrates the diverse tapestry of arts, cultures, and traditions emanating from a global Pacific Northwest.

Traditionally, we program music, dance, storytelling, panels, presentations, and films at the Northwest Folklife Festival. We also schedule workshops, where community performers can teach others about a particular subject.In 2023, we added a fashion show, the Maker’s Space, a visual arts gallery, and Kuleana Corridor, which focuses on food sustainability.
