If you happen to visit downtown Bangor this weekend, you might notice a few more people than normal buzzing about the streets. This Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, tens of thousands of people will flock to the Bangor waterfront’s biggest annual event: the American Folk Festival.

With more than twenty performance groups on five stages along the Penobscot, the AFF is a celebration of music and food from around the world that shouldn’t be missed. This year’s festival will feature bluegrass, salsa, Trinidadian steel, and just about everything in between. And better yet, you can come to see all the great music for free (although donations to any of the members of the on-site Bucket Brigade are highly appreciated).

We’re proud to be a sponsor of the festival and to host AmericanFolkFestival.com as a datAvenger site. If you see any of us down on the waterfront this weekend, come over and say hi!
