The Lowell Folk Festival continues to provide the finest in traditional music, craft, foodways and more in downtown Lowell. This annual celebration is the best in traditional folk music, artisan crafts and ethnic foods, and will be returning to downtown Lowell with a full lineup beginning with the traditional parade of nations from Lowell’s City Hall Plaza to Boarding House Park. The free festival offers something for people of all ages all within the heart of Lowell National Historical Park. UMass Lowell has a front row seat to all the action in front of Boarding House Park, which also serves as the main stage for performers during the festival. Stop by and say hello to your colleagues at the UMass Lowell booth.
