The Folk Alliance has held its annual conferences at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, North Carolina, for several years. Unfortunately, Hurricane Helene caused serious damage to the YMCA.
After much deliberation, The Folk Alliance has selected Owensboro for the 2025 conference! The Folk Alliance will bring around 300 musicians and fans of folk music to be here on May 15-18.
What’s amazing about The Folk Alliance is that it represents people from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
With Owensboro being the Bluegrass Music Capital of the world this conference opens the door to our Bluegrass community. If you have been wanting to be a part of something big, clear your calendar for May 15-18, because The Folk Alliance is coming to Owensboro!
