For 51 years, the Alaska Folk Festival has brought together music lovers from Southeast Alaska and beyond. When you’re not catching the performances on the mainstage at Centennial Hall or tuning in to the nightly broadcast on KRNN, you can find live music of all kinds playing throughout Juneau.
From laid-back jam sessions to unique late-night sets, KXLL has got you covered to help you plan your after-hours Folk Fest experience. We’ll be updating it throughout the week with any schedule changes or new events, so check back for updates & make the most of Folk Fest’s 51st!
