Orkney Folk Festival 2018 Overview

Orkney Folk Festival will, as always, have a wide range of music from the ceilidh bands to the almost indie strand. They have brought together a broad mix of artists that they hope appeals to everyone’s interpretation of the increasingly expansive folk genre.

The Orkney Folk Festival is centered in Stromness, Orkney’s second largest town. Some events take place in Kirkwall, however if you’re looking to be in the heart of the festival over the weekend Stromness is definitely the place to be. Events also take place in some mainland parishes, as well as one or two of the smaller islands.

They are also excited to be working on some new and collaborative events within their four-day programme…As ever, their local traditions and musicians – both established and emerging – will be centre stage alongside those visiting the festival. You would be hard pushed to find another festival throughout the country that has such a strong home representation, and it is one that they are hugely proud of.
