FOLK CLUB NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Wednesday December 27th, 2023 until Monday January 1st, 2024! We will be going back to Camp Newman, between Calistoga and Santa Rosa, which has been rebuilt since the fire there in 2017. More info here or register now!
St. Cyprian’s Episcopal church, 2097 Turk St. San Francisco, corner of Lyon
Friday, Dec. 22, 2023, 7 pm to 11 pm
MUNI: 31 Balboa connects BART Powell St. station @ 5th/Market and stops at Turk Street & Lyon St. directly across Turk from Cyprian’s , or 43 Masonic Ave., a major crosstown line, stops at Turk St. two blocks west of Cyprian’s.
Parking: While in most of San Francisco finding parking is a challenge, the two long blocks along the north side of Turk, from Baker to Lyon to Central, have no curb cuts, no buildings nor garages. So, parking there is somewhat better than average.
Questions can be directed to Glen at gvanlehn@sonic.net .
We’re now done with our multi-day summer music gatherings for 2023. This year we were back at Camp Herms in the El Cerrito Hills for all three gatherings, on the weekends of Memorial Day, “July 4” (actually June 30-July 2 this year), and Labor Day. We hope to return again to Camp Herms for all three of these gatherings in 2024. Details about our summer gatherings at Camp Herms are here.
SFFMC’s 2023 El Cerrito Free Folk Festival was live and in person on Saturday, October 14 at the El Cerrito Community Center on Moeser Lane in El Cerrito. Details are on the festival website. The festival was a lot of fun! We hope to see everyone at next year’s festival.
SFFMC’s 2023 San Francisco Free Folk Festival was live and in person for the first time since 2019! We were at a new outdoor location in Golden Gate Park on Saturday, July 8, 2023.
