The Folk Festival was held on campus Friday through Sunday, and featured international food booths, workshops, arts and crafts and various live performances, such as Obo Ady & Kukrudu and spoken word artist Laura ‘Piece’ Kelley. The festival boasted what co-coordinators Ariel Zimmer and Will Reischman called ‘a consistent international flavor.’ This year”s event featured new additions such as tables manned by community organizations. Festival-goers had the chance to participate in workshops that gave people the chance to try folk art, such as banjo playing and West African and Rumbana dance.
