Showcasing 20+ Pacific Northwest musicians. Concerts, meet and greets & open mics at this exciting event.
To unite the diverse voices and sounds of our beautiful Pacific Northwest North Coast region through this vibrant celebration of folk music, ensuring these traditions are cherished and remembered for generations to come.

First conceived by local folk musician, singer/songwriter Barbara Anne Gaidosh, this folk music festival has been a dream of this Oregon native for most of her life. Inspired by events like the Sisters Folk Festival, Barbara Anne hopes the North Coast Folk Festival can thrive as a celebration of Pacific Northwest musicians for future generations to enjoy!
Events such as our folk music festival can only be organized by a dedicated team. We are blessed to be supported by a talented group of people who have written grants, brainstormed event planning, and more, ensuring this continues to be an unforgettable showcase of the best Pacific Northwest musicians!

North Coast Folk Festival is a brand new, first ever, yearly music event that celebrates folk musicians and folk musicians on the north coast. It features a selection of folk musicians from all over the Pacific Northwest performing at three different venues over the course of three days in Astoria, Oregon.
The first ever North Coast Folk Festival took place May 1, 2, & 3 of 2026. The next event will be around the same time in 2027.
The North Coast Folk Festival occurs almost simultaneously at various venues over the course of 3 days in Astoria, Oregon. In 2026, we had events at the Astor Street Opry Company (ASOC), the Kala Performance Theater, WineKraft Wine Bar, and we had our special concert event, The Woody Guthrie Story, hosted by The Columbian Theater.
The deadline for artist submissions is December 25, 2026. We will be responding to each submission for the 2027 North Coast Folk Festival by the second week of January. We appreciate each of you that send in your information so keep an eye out for our response in your email inbox.
