It is Anchorage Folk Festival’s mission to make everyone a “Folk Star”!
In traditional years, we “book the gig” for you and give you a stage with a microphone to share your music and art. In 2021 we didn’t want to lose that integral part of our annual Festival, so we asked our Community to join our “Virtual Open Mic”. We received over fifty short, self-recorded performances that our Production Team assembled into a continuous video loop to watch beginning Saturday and Sunday, at your leisure. Huge shout out to our Community for keeping this spirit alive!
Please go to anchoragefolkfestival.org for a link to these fantastic sets!
