Golden Festival has been called a once-in-a-lifetime experience that happens every year. Crowds join hands and dance to live music, shop for folk arts, nibble feta, sausage, and desserts, and share in good cheer. It’s a pop-up community where young and old, the folklorist, music professional, and party animal come together in two nights of joy. Anchored in Balkan traditions (roughly Romania to Greece, Croatia to Turkey), and venturing generously beyond, the musical programming spans the ancient and the experimental, the oud and the synthesizer.
Golden Fest is run by volunteers. Be part of the team!
Full/part-time positions available for free/reduced admission.
