Kerrville Folk Festival
The Kerrville Folk Festival, the Foundation's flagship event, was founded by Rod Kennedy in 1972. The 50th Kerrville Folk Festival was celebrated in 2022 and continues to be a Mecca for the songwriting community. For 18 straight days and nights, the Festival offers concerts and activities for all ages that are focused on nurturing and developing artistic expression, especially the art of songwriting.
The Festival is held at Quiet Valley Ranch in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, just 9 miles south of Kerrville, TX. (It's about an hour drive from San Antonio and a two-hour drive from Austin.)
The Festival is celebrated by a community who considers itself family and are always delighted to welcome new folks! When gathered, it becomes the second largest community in Kerr county. During the 18-day Festival, attendance is approximately 30,000, with guests coming from all over the world to experience the magic many simply call "Kerrville". Even so, each evening's performance is attended by 800 to 3,000 guests, making everyone's experience feel intimate.
