Coming in 2024, and we're back for more
Music Under the Trees !
Mark your calendars for August 9-11, aim your car towards Mielke Park in Shawano, and get ready for a great weekend at one of the best small folk music festivals anywhere. Indoor evening concerts, outdoor daytime programs, quilts, crafters, good food, friends and our gloriously eclectic mix of great music. What more could anyone ask for?
From the Directors If this is your first time attending the Shawano Folk Music Festival, we are glad you’re here. We love to see new faces. We hope you fall in love with the festival as we have, and come back year after year. If you’re a regular, thank you for being here. We appreciate your ongoing support. It’s people like you who’ve kept this festival alive and made it so special. Whether you’re here for just a few hours or taking in the entire weekend, we hope you’ll cherish your time here and remember it fondly. We have had great fun putting the festival together. And remember that volunteers make this festival happen, whether it’s a 2-hour shift or joining the planning committee. Stop by the office and say hello or sign up for next year. We’d love to have you.
On behalf of the entire Festival Planning Committee,
Linda Blohowiak & Julie Heise, ‘24 Directors

The 2024 Honorary Director! At the end of the 2023 Festival, the big moment arrived. Art Stevenson turned in his square for the Honorary Director's Quilt, and handed the honorary director's beret, back scratcher and sparkle wand to John Stano, the 2024 Honorary Director. John will serve for one year, advising the planning committee as we build the 46th Festival, helping select one of the 2024 artists, and contributing a square to the quilt. Welcome, John.
