Music Moves Chicago Presents Future Folk Festival
About this Event
In an effort to celebrate some of the beautifully renovated Chicago park spaces and to continue our wonderful partnership with the Chicago Park District, we’ve decided to bring back the Future Folk Festival for 3 special nights in some of their updated facilities!
Wednesday, Dec 16 features Dill Costa Quintet and DDG with AKENYA and Shon Dervis!
The Future Folk Festival draws inspiration from the definition of folk music provided by Folk Alliance International: “Folk is the music of the people, reflective of any community where they are from.”
Because Old Town School of Folk Music doesn’t limit folk to any one genre or group of instruments, we prioritize connecting innovative, new, and global folk artists with diverse audiences.
Under the Future Folk Festival umbrella, Community Ventures continues to provide a wide variety of music-related experiences with the purpose of strengthening the Old Town School’s existing relationships with Chicago’s African American, Caribbean, Latinx, African, Asian, and Indigenous communities.
We look forward to seeing you out there! As always, all programming is FREE and OPEN to the Public.
