See the Video! Last Year’s Woodstock Folk Festival 2023 Sampler

First the video. We have an Earth Day treat for you — a video sampler of LAST YEAR’S 38th Annual Woodstock Folk Festival 2023.  

If you missed last year’s Festival, this is your opportunity to see some of what you missed.  If you did attend, you can now re-live special moments from that day.  

The video has websites for the performers and we hope you’ll support them by purchasing their CDs, joining their Patreon accounts, and/or attending their future concerts.

The video is about an hour and twenty minutes. You can watch it here (above or in the right column) or find it anytime in our Video Gallery on this site. You can also visit our YouTube Channel.
