2022 YAKIMA FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL CANCELLED
Due to the unfortunate nature of the world today and gathering restrictions in place with the Covid-19 virus, the Yakima Folklife Association has decided to cancel the 2022 Festival. We hope you will join us in 2023 for our 40th year celebration!
The safety of our patrons, performers, sponsors, volunteers, and committee is paramount. To do our part to help keep the spread of the virus down, we have made the sad decision to cancel the 2022 Yakima Folklife Festival.
We hope you’ll join us in October 2022 to start planning for the 40th year of Folklife, scheduled for the 3rd weekend in June, 2023.

The purpose of the Yakima Folklife Association is to promote a broader community awareness of our cultural and folk traditions. These traditions, such as music, dance, crafts, and other folk arts, are provided through such social and educational events as concerts, dances, festivals, workshops, lectures, and demonstrations.
