The 9th annual Blue Sky Folk Festival

This festival was held Saturday, August 17, 2019.

The evening concert featured Madison Violet, Juno-nominated songwriters/musicians Brenley MacEachern and Lisa MacIsaac from Canada.

Also appearing were the extraordinary local talent Charlie Mosbrook  and, from Michigan, emcee and performer Matt Watroba.

The daytime program presented concerts all day: jams for old-time, old-time slow, bluegrass slow, old-time banjo, and Western Swing musicians; contra dancing and contra dance workshops; workshops in banjo, guitar, fiddle, songwriting, community singing, kids music, and much more.

The festival was held at the Fine Arts Association, 38660 Mentor Ave., Willoughby OH 44094.
