Attention Ferdinand Folk Festival fans!  Make sure to lock in this date on your scheduling devices for this fall:  Saturday, September 17, the Ferdinand Folk Festival, co-sponsored by Best Home Furnishings and MasterBrand Cabinets, returns to the beautiful 18th Street Park, for our 12th annual event.  Here are the 2022 performers:

Headline artists The Last Revel, who performed at the 2018 Folk Festival, are back with their original line-up and will close out the night playing from 7:30-9 pm. The Last Revel blends the genres of Folk, Old Time String Band, and Indie Rock to create a unique sound known as Front Porch Americana.

Their most recent EP was released in May of this year, featuring 5 brand new songs, including the lead single “Welcome to Hell” and marks the first time the original trio recorded in over five years.  And we are happy to have The Last Revel as our headline artist at the 2022 Ferdinand Folk Festival!
