Swanage Folk Festival | Swanage
Celebration
Every September, Swannatch hosts its annual Folk Festival, a vibrant celebration of traditional music, colorful dances, and a host of other activities. This year's highlights include The Longest John, Jerry Colvin, and Meryl Hale. It's a weekend packed with folk concerts, street performances, music and dance workshops, culminating in a Celtic dance on Saturday night—a chance to take off your dancing shoes and get ready to rock and roll with your partner. You can also find a variety of food stalls, festival bars, children's activities, and an arts and crafts market at the festival center in Sandpit Square.
