Our annual Turtle Hill Folk Festival is a family-oriented event, with:

• Concerts, jamming, singalongs, workshops and how-to’s.
• Free “field” camping, (RV's okay, no hook-ups) or stay in a cabin for a small fee. Hot showers available.
• Nature trails, children’s activities and food and craft vendors.

All activities are covered in case of inclement weather.

The facility is completely handicapped accessible. Pets, alcohol and open fires are prohibited. Field campers are required to move their vehicles to the parking lot after setting up.

Our weekend-long event is held rain or shine. Indoor or covered facilities shelter the activities.

Volunteers are needed to work the gate, sell performer and GL merchandise, set up on Friday and tear down Sunday afternoon, to assist with sound and recording, to provide performer hospitality and lodging, for daytime workshop area coordination, to staff the children's area and for campfire building. Contact the Festival Chair, Robert Grolling, at festival@goldenlink.org for more information, or to volunteer.
