Richland's Tumbleweed Music Festival in Howard Amon Park
Each year, beginning in 1997, Three Rivers Folklife Society (3RFS) has sponsored Tumbleweed Music Festival and Songwriting Contest in Richland, WA, on Saturday and Sunday of Labor Day weekend. This is the eleventh year!
The Tumbleweed Music Festival
From Tumbleweed Music Festival's website:
Both days will be filled with free acoustic music (evening events will be by admission.) Relax in your lawn chair or on a blanket as you enjoy music on four outdoor stages, or come inside to the air-conditioned Community Center to watch dance performances, participate in dance lessons, or take in a free music workshop. We also have an open mike stage. Several hours each day will be devoted to music and storytelling for kids. For 2007, we expect to have over one hundred acts offering traditional and contemporary folk, blues, bluegrass, ballet, gospel, Cajun, Celtic, Caribbean, classical, jazz, western and country, opera, drama, Middle Eastern, folklorico, old-time music and dance, and more. A songwriting contest, and a participatory band scramble will showcase special talents and offer prizes for the adventurous.
The theme for the 2007 song writing contest is déjà vu. Downloadable application forms for performers, artists and crafts folks, and food vendors also will be posted on the web site early in 2007. Please check back later.
