RI Folk Festival is a free annual music festival that takes place at Crescent Park in Riverside, RI. It features a lineup of top-notch musicians from different genres.
RI Folk Festival does not accept artist submissions. As the lineup is invitation only, the best way to be noticed by the organizers is by being an active part of the RI music scene, or a touring act with local connections.
RI Folk Festival is held on the last Sunday of August each year.
We welcome all great pictures, and will give credit if requested. As we are a grass roots festival, we do not have money in our budget to pay.
If you are still interested, please see these guidelines.
