Folk Marathon is a grass roots event carried by all participants, carefully prepared by a local team.
It works, because the enthusiasm, energy and experience of the local organizing team as well as of all its folksy participants flow together.
- The local team provides the basic structure (venues, timetable, venue, info, technical support etc.) and puts everything together as good and neat as possible.
- All workshops, concerts and dances are led by participants on a voluntary base (donations possible)
- Participants together with the local team take care that everything runs smoothly.
Every friendly human, independent of age and skill, is invited to join into Folk Marathon, in their own fashion: One may visit dozens of workshops or none at all, party and jam and dance all day and night or take it much more contemplatively, choose to go to this bal or rather to that session, explore everything on one’s one or party together…
There’s a modest participation fee just to cover the expenses.
