Folkmoot USA was recently named a Top Ten Festival by USA Today, the only festival in the state of North Carolina to receive such recognition.

“The Folkmoot Festival has received many awards throughout the years, but to be featured so prominently in a national publication such as USA Today reinforces that Folkmoot is a quality event,” said Executive Director Karen Babcock.

Folkmoot USA is held annually during the last two weeks of July and brings international folk dancers and musicians from around the world to perform throughout Western North Carolina. Folkmoot is housed at the Folkmoot Friendship Center, a renovated school in the Hazelwood section of Waynesville.
