The Anchorage Folk Festival is a two week event in Anchorage, Alaska. It is hosted by the group of the same name and is quite a well sought after annual celebration.

The Anchorage Folk Festival is best described as a celebration. Not only is it about performances of well known artists and musicians, but it is also a very informative event as they also offer workshops aside from concerts. These workshops are even open to the public for free, adding more appeal to the already attractive event.

Usually held around January, the Anchorage Folk Festival is a great stop if you?re interested with traditional and original folk music, as well as jazz, klezmer, and bluegrass just to name a few.
