Mission

The RiverRoots Folk Art Village celebrates expressive culture, by highlighting local customs, technical skill, language, play, drama, craft, and music.

RiverRoots is looking for artists and craftsman willing to showcase and demonstrate their skills at the RiverRoots Music and Folk Arts Festival. We are promoting a handmade feel by focusing on quality in a limited amount of artisans. Creating a Folk Arts Village allows artist to set up and share their talents with our patrons. It will include a primitive area with 1800’s era tents and trades, a vendor area with all handmade items, an ARTS n’ Action tent, a Folk Jammers tent, and a kids activity area. Our village attracts many in attendance of the festival and has added to the atmosphere of RiverRoots in many ways.
