OUR FOLKS

SOME FEEDBACK FROM


“A VERY worthy first effort. Saw some favorites, learned some new artists. Loved the location!”

“You truly did a tremendous job putting that together. The lake as a backdrop was amazing, but I also loved the signage and stage design. Subtle details like even the ‘conversation tent’ letters on the tent itself — and the life-affirming signs hanging from trees — added an unexpected (but fully appreciated) charm.”

“It was like a Newport Folk Fest for us! Let's do it again next year!”

“Excellent…! I appreciated the early emails about parking and logistics, as well as the clear signage pointing the way to the gate. I can only imagine the coordinated effort between the event planning team and the city of Evanston, but from the attendee perspective it was SEAMLESS. Thank you, humans!.”
