Saturday & Sunday September 15 & 16, 2007
9am-5pm
On the grounds of the Ohio Village in Columbus, OH
I-71 and 17th Ave., Exit 111
Celebrate the folk, ethnic, and traditional arts of Ohio and the Midwest through music, food, art, dance, and stories. This is the Ohio Historical Society’s first folk festival, and this two-day festival will feature continuous live music on three stages from 9am-5pm each day on the grounds of the Ohio Village. You’ll hear traditional folk, blues, Celtic, bluegrass, African, Latin Fusion and more, with every performer and group having its origins and/or its base of operations in Ohio.

Knot Fibb’n plays Saturday at 3pm, and Sunday at 3:45pm.

People who play an instrument or want to try something new can join in a hands-on workshop. Tim will teach a beginner’s bodhran workshop Saturday at 11:45am, and Beth will teach beginner’s whistle on Sunday at 12:15pm. Other workshops range from mountain dulcimer and guitar to storytelling, papermaking, and folk dancing.

The culinary heritage of Ohio will be getting its due through vendors selling a variety of foods to match the music. In addition, the Thurber House staff and volunteers will be presenting their highly acclaimed Reader’s Theater.

Welcome to the270. If this is your first time here and think, "what a douchebag", well that's my intent. To spur conversation. To drive my agenda to make Columbus a better place. If you are the subject of my douchebaggery, please do not take offense. I mean no harm. Leave a comment. And we'll discuss.
