2012 Cityfolk Festival

Whew, that was some Festival. The weather caused us to cancel all of Friday and shut down for two hours on Sunday. There have only been two other years in the 16-year run of the Festival that programming had to be cancelled (Connie Smith didn't get to take the stage back in the National Folk Festival days, and Mavis Staples only got to sing a few lines before having to take shelter several years ago). That's a pretty good track record for an outdoor Festival but it doesn't make the stormy years any more fun to deal with.

Great photos, reviews and video are popping up across the internet to help us relive the good times! I will be posting our own photo gallery no later than the end of July. If you have photos to share, please share them on our Facebook page. We'd love to see YOUR view of the Cityfolk Festival!
