The 2008 Festival (our tenth annual!) will be held Saturday, June 21, 2008 at the State Fairgrounds (Expo New Mexico) in Albuquerque.

Along with a special venue just for Li'l Folks, kids are welcome throughout the festival.
This year, Niños Flamencos, a group of young Flamenco dancers from
the National Institute of Flamenco's National Conservatory of Flamenco Arts, will be appearing on the Main Stage.
Also, at 10 am, JUBAlation, a group of young musicians will perform, and the Chinese Martial Artists group always features young performers.
New this year: Two children's fiddle contests!

Kids under 11 years old can come to the festival for free!
And kids 11-17 can get in for $5.
