History of the National Folk Festival
Different towns host the event for three years apiece and the umbrella organisation is the National Council for the Traditional Arts. In the late 1930s it was one of the few events that featured a desegregated stage. Nowadays, it regularly draws crowds of 100,000 to 175,000 people.
