Two Days, Plenty of Folk: A Music-Filled Weekend in Morris
Live music, warm drinks, and a spot by the fire. That’s a pretty good way to spend an October Saturday.
Morris Folk Fest brings a full day of music to East Side Park on Oct. 24, with free admission and plenty of reasons to linger. Want to start the weekend a little early? A free Folk Fest Preview Concert at Common Cup Coffee House on Friday, Oct. 23, gives you a first listen to some of the performers taking part the next day.
Come for a favorite artist. Stay to find a new one.
