Central Florida Folk hosts folk music concerts on the last Sunday of the month, in the Orlando area. The May concert is usually held on the 3rd Sunday.  Concerts in November and December are usually held on a date that does not conflict with Thanksgiving or Christmas. Library concerts begin at 2:00 PM because the Library closes at 5 PM on Sundays.  Lake of the Woods concerts  begin at 2:30 PM.  Fodor's Grove concerts start sometime between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM, subject to slight change, depending on the season.

Notice:

As of June 2021 our Library concerts will be on SATURDAY afternoon instead of our usual SUNDAY afternoon concert. We hope to resume Sunday afternoon concerts in December, if the Library is open on Sundays, after the move to the new Morse Avenue location.

Also, per Library requirements, there will be a limit of 20 people allowed in the room at any one time, and masks will be requested.  So, we will be requiring reservations until the venue situation changes.

But, don't sweat the small stuff.  Reservations are SUPER EASY to make!  Just call Sheila at 407-679-6426 to make a reservation.  And, her number is ALWAYS on the flier.  We're still here, Promoting and Preserving Folk Music, right here in your own back yard.

We'll keep you posted as soon as we get updates.

Thanks for your continuing support!
