Folknet is a not-for-profit educational organization that exists to nurture the development and expansion of a vibrant folk and traditional arts community of performers, organizations and advocates. In other words, we get together to promote folk and traditional music, dance and related arts throughout Northeast Ohio.

Our activities include concerts (national acts as well as local musicians), dances, festivals, and the renowned recordings, Acoustic Harvest, More Pickings and Fertile Land. In January, 2000 we released our fourth compilation CD, known as Fresh Produce.
