Did you know that the Kerrville Folk Festival started right here at the Cailloux Theater, back when it was the Municipal Auditorium? Head out to Quiet Valley Ranch over the next couple of weeks and enjoy this world-famous music festival right here in the heart of the Hill Country!
While Texas may seem like an unlikely location, the Kerrville Folk Festival is the biggest and longest-running event of its kind. The highly anticipated festival kicks off this Thursday, remaining one of the most important gatherings in folk music.
“This will be our 54th annual festival.," said Deb Rouse, the executive director of the festival. "We started in 1972 and in 1975 we moved out to Quiet Valley Ranch, and that has been our home ever since."
Rouse said most people who attend have been doing so for decades, dating back to 1972. Rouse herself started taking part in 1972. “We are the longest continuously operating music festival in North America,” she said. “We're really one of the few long-time festivals in North America, and not only are we one of the oldest, but we're by far the longest in terms of how many days the festival takes up, because we are an 18-day festival with 18 solid days of music programming.”
