Who We Are

Folklore Village is a nationally recognized folk arts and culture center dedicated to enriching lives through time-honored traditions. Since 1968, thousands of people of all ages have come to Folklore Village to gather with friends, meet new people, to eat, dance, sing and play. Come study with a master fiddler… sing with a gospel choir… dance until midnight… learn to spin wool… feast on jambalaya… join a back porch jam session… plant prairie flowers… or picture yourself as a student in a real 1890 schoolhouse… pass it on.

The mud is here. But our spring programming gives you a reason to not be a stick-in-the-mud and get out and play! Whether you come for one of our dance and music weekends, a dance or a family day, we know you will leave here smiling - which is our goal after all. Please come join in- we'll have you stuck on Folklore Village in no time! :-)  Melissa
