About
The Evanston Folk Festival, launched in 2024, takes place at Dawes Park in Evanston, Illinois, just outside Chicago. Held over a September weekend, it brings together folk, Americana, and singer-songwriter acts in a lakeside setting. The festival stands out for its Tent Talks conversation series with Chicago Public Media and for intimate evening aftershows that extend the experience beyond the main stage.
