FALCON RIDGE FOLKLORE FESTIVAL 2022
GOSHEN, Conn. – The 34th Falcon Ridge Folk Festival will once again fly its annual, 3 full days this year, pandemic precautions are still in place and in-person and live options on Friday/Saturday/Sunday 29, 30 and 31 at the fairgrounds from Goshen to Goshen CT.
Marking a week earlier than the calendar and the usual appearance of Brigadoon, the festival resumes its 3-day format with an early opening of the campsite on Wednesday July 28, no dance tents returning yet but still overflowing with love , talent, community spirit and course, always accessible and interpreted in ASL.
Festival organizers announced plans for the hybrid festival in April with a COME BACK TO US message calling this year’s event, RETURN TO FALCON RIDGE complete with on-site camping, a Thursday night pre-fest music stage and the return Friday afternoon.
Showcase of emerging Grassy Hill artists.
The Joyful Return will feature 24 performers on 3 stages, wonderful food and crafts as always, activities for kids and a brand new community singing program. While current pandemic precautions as well as the festival organizer’s attitude of caution will place some limits on what is offered, this will not dampen the ever shared community vibe at Falcon Ridge.
