Description

49th Annual Fox Valley Folk Music & Storytelling Festival

Sunday, August 31st, & Monday, September 1st, 2025
at Wheeler Park in Geneva IL

11:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. each day with additional evening events on Sunday August 31st, 2025

Minimum Suggested Admission or Free Will Donation

Bask in the glory of the last summer holiday weekend listening to live music and storytelling with 15 Featured Performers and other area musical artists. For nearly 50 years, the Fox Valley Folklore Society has been bringing local, national, and international talent to the Western Suburbs and this year's Festival promises the same!!

Six stages run continuously, with choices of mini-concerts, storytelling, and topical & hands-on workshops, as well as a Kids' Zone with music and craft activities that is co-sponsored with American Science and Surplus.
Enjoy a variety of food trucks, stroll through an arts area and updated Kids' Zone, or bring your instrument to play along. Twirl at the old-fashioned Barn Dance, then thrill to some spine-tingling tales as the crickets chirp and train whistles blow through the dark.

Join us on Labor Day Sunday and Monday for a weekend full of fun for the whole family!
Sponsored by the Fox Valley Folklore Society and the Geneva Park District.
