Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 8, 2024! From 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM, the Takoma Park Folk Festival will take over the Takoma Park Middle School grounds (7611 Piney Branch Rd, Takoma Park, MD 20912) for an entire day of live music, local crafts, international food, and community spirit.

But the fun doesn't stop with the music. Over 40 local artisans will showcase their handcrafted creations—think vibrant jewelry, one-of-a-kind pottery, and eye-catching textiles. It's the perfect opportunity to support local makers and take home a unique treasure.
