NAFF Promotion at Altoona Curve
A little bit about the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival….. Each year on the second weekend of September, the main street of Indiana, Pennsylvania springs to life in celebration of local art, history, and culture. Vendors bursting with local flavors, artisan crafts, and more line the streets while many of the quaint Downtown’s storefronts play host to workshops that educate and enrich, with subjects ranging from the area’s involvement in the Underground Railroad to how to build a rainwater capture system to identifying and foraging wild mushrooms. And then, of course, there’s the music. Country, bluegrass, African drums, rock n’ roll, Americana, jazz, and blues – the acts that perform at NAFF represent the breadth of the diversity and talent of the Northern Appalachian region. Other highlights of the weekend include a Children’s Alley, the Storytellers and Liars contest, a charitable 5k marathon, and the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival Walk of Fame Ceremony.
