The 2009 Cityfolk Festival starts tomorrow. There are so many ways to enjoy it--which will you choose?
- Cut loose while you listen to the music of nearly 20 bands--tap your toes, clap your hands or cut a rug!
- Buy a beverage: bottled Pepsi products, bottled or draft beer, wine or malt beverage. Part of the proceeds benefits Cityfolk!
- Take your kids around to the Passport Stations, Kenneth Melendez' Puerto Rican Mask Making workshops and the K-12 Gallery for Young People Art-Making area where they can create one-of-a-kind Festival souvenirs, all for FREE!
- Attend the first-ever Wrap Up Party at Canal Street Tavern on July 5!
- Visit the Music and Merchandise tent for Cityfolk logo merchandise and music by all your favorite Festival artists!
- Enjoy the best seat in the house in Room With A View!

Citifolk festival is my favorite Dayton event! We come in from Greenville every year to enjoy the different live bands and watch the dancing. The food is incredible and the smells waft thru the crowd. I love it!
I read where you can buy a PIN to support this event. But,I think you should have just a donation box for those of us that don't want another pin, tshirt, etc. It just adds clutter, plus 100% could go toward funding.

Last night, the New Page Main Stage gave me goosebumps. Oumou Sangare and her band were playing with Bela Fleck. They were outstanding. To have that quality of artists in Dayton is amazing. The crowd was great and the musicians were beyond expectations.
This doesn't just happen, the staff does incredible work, the volunteers are oh, so helpful and the people who pay to keep this festival free show their commitment to the quality of life in Dayton.
Joan, we have talked about doing that. You're right--some folks want to donate without getting anything in return, and we need to make it easy for that to happen!
Roll on this years Citifolk. Can't wait!
