BROWARD FOLK FESTIVUS
featuring Verlon Thompson, Jack Williams, and Rowan Cunningham Band


Broward Folk Club’s annual January event will be a special day focused on bringing our Folk “Community” back together in a way that enables us to share not only great music, but the community spirit that has been such an important part of our Club in years past.

Important – PLEASE NOTE: Unlike our past events, the “Shack” does not have the capacity that a larger venue does. We wanted to give first priority to our South
Florida music community. AFTER CHRISTMAS, WE WILL OPEN TICKET SALES UP TO THE LARGER COMMUNITY, AND TICKETS WILL GO FAST! Once we are full, we will NOT be able to accept additional reservations. Therefore, it is imperative that you reserve your seats NOW if you plan to attend. BFC Members will get priority pricing. Tickets will be available the day of the event ONLY if seats are still available at that time.

SUNDAY – JANUARY 15, 2012
2:00 pm to 10:00 pm (and later for sharing music around the campfire)
