Shawano Folk Music Festival

Shawano Folk Music Festival One of the best small folk music festivals in the Midwest. Since 1979, the Shawano Folk Music Festival is a weekend full of music and friends. See you there!

Always the 2nd weekend in August. Two evening concerts, in the air-conditioned Mielke Arts Center, and two full days of outdoor programs on multiple outdoor stages under the trees of Mielke Park. We define "folk music" very broadly - exciting, diverse, eclectic mix - old, new, traditional, contemporary, music, dance, arts, on-the-edge-of-folk. It's a weekend for the entire family. We go on rain or shine, finding a way to make it work. Come sing, dance and play with us.
