By the end of the 42nd annual Alaska Folk Festival on Sunday, close to 130 different acts will have taken the main stage at Centennial Hall plus 13 dance bands at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center.
Countless more workshops, events, and jams take place throughout the weekend, and it takes close to 100 volunteers to make everything happen.
I checked in with a few of the folks behind the scenes and made this audio postcard.
You heard music from the PFLAG Juneau Chorus, Mark Heard, and Collette Costa’s group “Spungadaminga.” For a live stream of the festival, which runs through Sunday night, schedules of all the free concerts and dances, and more festival coverage, click here.
