Frontier Homestead State Park Museum and The Frontier Homestead Museum Foundation will present the first annual Frontier Folk Festival to Cedar City, June 17 and 18 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day.
The festival features original art, live music, traditional craft demonstrations, and a horseshoe tournament. Featured bands include Stillhouse Road, Wilhelm, The Red Hill Rangers, Hen Hao Fiddlers, The Sonoran Dogs, and Marty Warburton and the Homegirls.
The horseshoe tournament will take place on Saturday with the junior level (under 14) starting at 11 a.m. and the adult level (14 and up) beginning at 1 p.m. Prizes will be awarded for first and second places.
“We’ve been talking about this idea for years,” said Todd Prince, park manager. “Working with our museum foundation, we finally decided to take the leap and offer a new experience to the community and all our patrons. It will be a great event for anyone attracted to history, the visual arts, and folk music.”
“The foundation is simply thrilled to offer this family friendly experience to the community,” said festival coordinator Sandi Levy. “It is a golden opportunity for us all to experience our heritage!”
