With an abundance of music and dance performances on three outdoor stages and one inside the Yakima Valley Museum's Great Hall, this 18-year-old festival in Yakima's beautiful Franklin Park is becoming known as one of the biggest little folk festivals in the Northwest...and it's FREE! 

A mini "Kids' Festival," a "Medieval Faire" and jousting tournament (courtesy of the Society for Creative Anachronism), many crafts and ethnic foods, a full schedule of children's activities, an old time country dance, and evening concerts at Bob's Keg & Cork and the famous Grant's Brewery Pub, this event has something for everyone.
