Upcoming Seattle Folklore Society Concerts and Events
The annual SFS picnic will take place on September 9, 4-8pm. This year it will be held in the 6th Avenue NW Pocket Park, at the corner of NW 76th St and 6th Ave NW. Jamming and singing welcome – bring instruments, voices, and food or beverage to share (please, no alcoholic beverages as we are in a public park) There is a rain location a short walk away – the address will be posted at the park if needed. Come meet others with a passion for folk music; socialize and share ideas with other SFS members and the SFS board, play a few tunes or join in on some songs. Hope to see you there!
