The Northern Appalachian Folk Festival is set to return to Indiana on September 9th to the 11th after it was cancelled last year during the Coronavirus pandemic.
In an interview on Indiana in the Morning, Tony DeLoreto of the folk festival announced that events will start Thursday night with a documentary calling “The CCC Camps” debuting at the Philadelphia St. Playhouse in the 700 block. Activities will move to the 500 block on Friday for music provided by Somebody to Love, The Moore Brothers and 13 Stories starting at 4:00 PM.
A lot of events are set for Saturday, starting with the NAFF Walk of Fame ceremony at 10:00 AM followed by a memorial ceremony paying tribute to the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks at 11:00.
Music will resume at noon with fiddler Jimmy Herman on the main stage, followed by a fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin contest following that.
