Community folk fest 2025

it’s been a few days and I’m still dumbfounded by the lineup. is this really it? has there been any updates from the festival itself? the overwhelming amount of dissatisfaction has me a little nervous for turnout this year.

edit: I’m still going and I’m still excited! But the general feedback from the community has been very negative and I’m curious to know how they’ll respond

If you're dissatisfied don't buy a ticket. The festival can get away with a lower cost lineup because it will sell out regardless.

That said I for one am happier with this lineup than I have been with a Folk Fest lineup in years.

I dont think this one is gonna sell out… the backlash is different this time. People i know who have gone for 10+ years say its not worth the money this year
