Well into Friday and Saturday night, on the Bangor Waterfront there is great music - fiddles, mandolins, you name it!
The Folk Festival Bucket Brigade is made up of volunteers that hope you value the event as much as they do! A weekend full of entertainment, for your donation is essential for families and visitors alike to listen to great music, eat great food and see great local arts and crafts!
Taking the kids to the AFF is a highlight of our summer. I prefer it to the State Fair- as the crowd is more friendly and you can still get the same dough-boys and Turkey legs. My kids also appreciate the music. As soon as we get home- the guitars are tuned up and we have our own festival on the porch.
