About the Kerrville Folk Festival

The Kerrville Folk Festival is held annually at the Quiet Valley Ranch, 9 miles south of Kerrville on Texas Hwy 16. Starting on the Thursday before Memorial Day at the end of May, the music and good times go on for 18 days with performances by more than 100 artists such as Peter Yarrow and Butch Hancock. Interspersed between weekends are other events including workshops in songwriting and booking and management for touring artists. The annual Kerrville New Folk songwriting competition is held on the first weekend and draws some of the best of America's emerging songwriters. Award winniers are recognized at a special concert on the second weekend.

Bring your tent or RV (see below) and join us for as long as you can stay. Camping is free with a ticket for 3 or more consecutive days. The campgrounds abound with songwriters campfires, a favorite feature of the Kerrville Folk Festival since 1974.
