Portland’s Folk Festival Returns to the Crystal Ballroom
Co-founders Scott Gilmore and Sarah Vitort of local folk-rock duo Fox and Bones created the Portland’s Folk Festival in 2018 with community in mind, and this year, as in years past, the festival will feature local craft vendors to give the festival a community market feel. Additionally, there will be a raffle with prizes donated from sponsors, vendors and artists in which the proceeds are split evenly among the artists playing the festival as “tips.”
New this year, with the intention of expanding the PFF community, is the songwriting contest, where local songwriters entered their songs for a chance to perform at the festival. Three winners were chosen in the categories of Best Overall Song, Most Creative Song, and Best Song by someone under the age of 18, and will open the “Acoustic Sunday” portion of the event.
The event is open to all ages, and while the Crystal Ballroom is normally standing room only, there will be tables and chairs set up as well as a “cozy corner” with beanbags and rugs to provide a plethora of seating options.
A limited number of three-day passes are still available for $90. Once they sell out, attendees can purchase day passes for $35 per day. To purchase tickets, please visit www.etix.com/ticket/c/1943DF97915DC852C4C117CA8C0CBCCE/portland-folk-fest-22
