Join the Rhythm of the Seasons with the
🎻Fox Valley Folklore Society! 🎶
Looking for music that moves you, stories that stir your soul, and a community that feels like home? The Fox Valley Folklore Society invites you to be part of something timeless and truly special. Each month, we gather to celebrate the rich traditions of folk music, storytelling, and cultural connection — building friendships, sharing talents, and keeping the spirit of folk alive.
And it all comes together on Labor Day weekend with —
the Fox Valley Folk Music & Storytelling Festival,
where music fills the air, stories echo across the riverbanks, and hearts beat in harmony.
Whether you're a seasoned performer, an enthusiastic listener, or just folk-curious — there's a place for you here. Come for the songs, stay for the stories, and become part of the tradition.
Dozens of events. Endless memories. One community.
