Richmond Folk Festivals meet Festivals Acadiens et Creoles
RFF and FAC are held on the same weekend (2nd in October) and are beloved by thousands – maybe millions of fans. Tonight’s show presents selections of RFF through 18 years and FAC from 1994 – plus some folks I would line up for the future. So much music to pack into two hours – and it feels so good. Ahhh – the nostalgia of live, outdoor music propelling the happy mash of bodies bouncing and dancing. Allons dancer!
