The inaugural folk music festival celebrating the rich traditions of folk musicians from the North Coasts of the Pacific Northwest is finally here! Our mission is to unite the diverse voices and sounds of our beautiful regions through this vibrant celebration of folk music, ensuring that these traditions are cherished and remembered for generations to come.

First conceived by local folk musician, singer/songwriter Barbara Anne Gaidosh, this folk music festival has been a dream of this Oregon native for most of her life. Inspired by events like the Sisters Folk Festival, Barbara Anne hopes the North Coast Folk Festival can thrive as a celebration of Pacific Northwest musicians for future generations to enjoy!

Events such as our folk music festival can only be organized by a dedicated team. We are blessed to be supported by a talented group of people who have written grants, brainstormed event planning, and more, to ensure that this will be an unforgettable event for North Coast events and showcase the best of Pacific Northwest musicians!
