Join us each year -- beginning the third Thursday in June -- as the city of Glenville, West Virginia, takes on a marvelous change reminiscent of the old days. See antique cars, the Folk Festival Belles, quilt shows, and Appalachian arts and crafts. Your ears will be treated to the sweet sounds of banjo and fiddle contests, jam sessions in the streets, old-time gospel singing, and oral traditions. Please your tastebuds at the Festival as well! But no matter what, don't forget the Strawberry Shortcake from the Gilmer Co. FFA!

Festival Purpose:
The purpose of this corporate body shall be to preserve the remnants of pioneer life and culture of West Virginia in music, entertainment, education, and social and economic activities to the end that citizens may appreciate and respect the achievements of their forebearers.
"If I win I get a Preston fiddle. If not I supported a festival that is always the highlight of my year. I can’t lose." That's a quote from one of the first folks to order some tickets today and it's an example of why I love my music family.
Ticket sales just started and they're already going fast. There are only going to be 500 tickets so the odds are great! Proceeds support the music programs of the West Virginia State Folk Festival.
