Folky Fish Fest is a folk and new-grass music festival in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks.
Join us on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1, at Maramec Spring Park for a weekend of stage performances, musical workshops, dancing, delicious local food, and artisan vendors.
We're excited to partner with Maramec Spring Park and The James Foundation to bring you this festival and all the amenities this park has to offer.
This festival goes beyond musical performances. The primary goal is to provide financial resources for young musicians across Crawford and Phelps counties. The Adam Yount-John Hotze Memorial Education Fund will provide financial resources and continuing musical education.
Camping arrangements will be exclusively handled by the park staff. A festival ticket is a requirement to book your camping spot for the weekend.
