South Florida Folk Festival – Ft. Lauderdale
Welcome to the 2017 South Florida Folk Festival. The South Florida Folk Festival is presented by the Broward Folk Club. Since its inception in 1992, the Festival has been a combination of a music fest, family reunion, community gathering, and weekend musical retreat.
