A Special Thank You!
Volunteers Make The Difference

Donate to Support the Festival
THANK YOU to the thousands of volunteers who have helped the Fall Folk Festival become so successful for the last 24 years. Without your commitment, the Festival’s ability to continue and remain a free event for the community would not be possible.

Again, thank you for all you do.

Sylvia Gobel,
Director, Spokane Fall Folk Festival

Future of the Festival

​Sylvia Gobel has been the Festival director for many years. She has always loved dance and been interested in international cultures. Sylvia wants the Festival to remain viable well into the future. She invites new volunteers to donate their time during the Festival.

Additionally, the Festival committee needs a team of apprentices who will start training to take over some of the responsibilities of producing the Festival and to contribute fresh ideas.

If you are interested in keeping this tradition alive for another 20 years and want to become involved, or you have ideas or expertise to share, please contact us at
[email protected] or 509-828-3683.
