Every Memorial Day weekend, White Springs becomes the folk music capital of Florida. This is where the rhythmic strumming of guitars meets the gentle lapping of the Suwannee River.

“One of the longest-running folk festivals in the United States, keeping the spirit of the south alive for over seven decades.”

Held at the historic Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, the festival is more than just music; it’s a living archive of crafts, food, and stories that define the Sunshine State’s unique heritage.
