The 33rd annual Glendale Folk and Heritage Festival celebrates folk music and its history and culture next month.

The free event takes place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, March 4-5, at Sahuaro Ranch Historic Area, 9802 N. 59th Ave.

This festival takes place every spring to showcase and celebrate traditional Arizona music and culture through learning, performances and workshops. Drawing from a heritage of ranching, railroading and mining, the Folk and Heritage Festival allows attendees to experience the diversity of the Southwest.

This year’s edition will feature 84 performances on six stages Saturday, plus 22 workshops. On Sunday, look for 78 performances on six stages, and 21 workshops.

The event showcases folk and bluegrass music, along with scattered jam sessions and authentic storytelling throughout the weekend. In addition, workshops invite attendees to learn to play spoons, saws, ukuleles, harmonicas, swing guitar, pennywhistle, jug band, skiffle music, autoharps and more.

There will also be free kids activities like face painting and crafts. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase. Event admission is free. Some seating is available, however, attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or picnic blankets.

The Glendale Folk & Heritage Festival is produced by the City of Glendale Special Events team and supported by the Glendale Main Library and the Glendale Public Art Program.
