Who We Are
The Fresno Folklore Society (FFS) is a non-profit corporation founded for the purpose of preserving folk arts, especially traditional music, in California's San Joaquin Valley. It has existed in various forms for over thirty-five years. The present incarnation was begun in 1977 by a group of musicians who wanted to find ways to make folk music more available to those in the valley.
What We Do
We sing, we dance, we play music, and some tell stories. Above all we have fun and provide a venue for the community to hear and enjoy "alternative" music.

The goal of FFS is to promote music and dance of many cultures. We cater to fans of all sorts of music: Old-Time, Bluegrass, Cajun, Irish and other Celtic music, as well as swing and traditional jazz, Armenian, Greek, Balkan--just to name a few. In addition to providing an outlet for local Fresno Folk artists to perform and obtain publicity, FFS over the years has provided a venue for touring traditional artists.
Membership is open to the community: $15 per year, individual; $25 family.
