49th Annual Fox Valley Folk Festival


Sunday, August 31st & Monday, September 1st at Wheeler Park in Geneva 


Among the performances will be Dennis Stroughmatt with L'Esprit Créole.


A vibrant blend of Celtic, Canadian and Old Time sounds, this music bridges the gap between contemporary Canadian and Louisiana Cajun styles. Preserved by families in the Ozark foothills, the music remains largely intact and true to the traditions that have been passed down for over three centuries.    “On est toujours icitte: We are still here!!" . (From FVFS website)
