Each year, the International Folkloric Society welcomes dancers and musicians from around the world to Murfreesboro for the International Folk Fest. The 35th annual International Folk Fest will present events in the area June 11–18.

Uncle Shuffelo

Throughout the week, groups from Mexico, Canada and Lithuania celebrate international dance, music and arts with performances for local schools, senior citizen organizations, civic organizations and everyone in the community.

Along with international troupes, Middle Tennessee old-time band Uncle Shuffelo and His Haint Hollow Hootenanny will perform unique, spirited versions of historical tunes on Friday and Saturday.

According to its website, the festival promises to be a week of “excitement and education with a mission to preserve international cultural heritage.” To learn more about the festival and the performing troupes, visit mboro-international-folkfest.org.
