San Francisco Free Folk Festival

Folks, if you have an ear, a dance step or a musician’s touch for Folk music, this two-day free 35th Annual San Francisco Folk Festival is about as good as it gets.

Sure, there will be over 60 music performances but there will be also be dance parties (everything from Salsa to Charleston to Tango) and free workshops in which pros teach you how to build your own Washtub bass, sing like a barbershop quartet, learn belly dancing, and make music with found objects.
