Evanston Folk Festival

The first-ever Evanston Folk Festival will take place on the lakefront at Dawes Park: Saturday, September 7 + Sunday, September 8 from 12pm to 8:30pm. Join us on our spectacular lake front for a celebration of the rich folk music tradition that has guided Space since day one, and has so many roots in our Evanston community. A folky folk festival if ever there was one, and with the most stunning views of Lake Michigan, we’re honored to be entrusted with this special location and responsibility.

• Three musical stages featuring 30+ artists and pop-up performances throughout the event
• In Conversation Tent featuring speakers, panels, and interviews
• Evanston’s finest food and beverage offerings
• Family Friendly programming and activities
• Sweeping views of Lake Michigan
