2010 Kerrville Folk Festival Information

May 27 - June 13, 2010

The Kerrville Folk Festival is held annually at the Quiet Valley Ranch, 9 miles south of Kerrville on Texas Hwy 16. Starting on the Thursday before Memorial Day at the end of May, the music continues for 18 days with performances by more than 100 singer songwriters and their bands. Interspersed between weekends are workshops in songwriting, blues guitar, and harmonica. The annual Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition is held on the first weekend and draws 32 of the best of America's emerging songwriters. Award winners are recognized at a special concert on the second weekend. The Texas Folk Music Foundation sponsors the Professional Development Program for Teachers the second mid-week of the festival and is a great way for teachers to earn continuing education credits while learning how to utilize music as a teaching tool.

The Kerrville Folk Festival is a great place to be for Kerrverts of All Ages!

A variety of food items ranging from bar-b-que to vegetarian selections are available in the theater at our food service pavilion during main stage performance nights. Beer, wine, smoothies, soft drinks and gourmet coffee drinks are also available.

I've been wanting to attend this for the last few years and just have never made it.
If you plan to attend every day of the festival it gets a bit pricey since they don't sell a package of all the festival dates under one price unless you want to buy tickets also for the second wine and food festival. (over $500) One nice thing is that it looks like camping fees are very low so if you go camping is the way to attend the event.
