About this Article

For the past 36 years, the Fox Valley Folk Music and Storytelling Festival has maintained a community feel, an intergenerational appeal, and a regional reputation. "This festival has a much more community, participatory feel than almost any," said Dave Humphreys, founder of Two Way Street Coffee House, a longtime, live folk music venue in Downers Grove.
