The Friends of the Moab Folk Festival found themselves thinking outside the box to continue spreading joyful noise to the community despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The nonprofit sponsors the Moab Folk Festival, as well as a free concert series and education outreach for schools in Grand County.
By combining federal funding and dedication, Assistant Director Cassie Paup helped the festival continue to serve its community throughout the pandemic. The 2021 Moab Folk Festival has been scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 5, public health directives allowing.
âArts and culture are the glue that holds our community together. Especially when weâre going through something thatâs so new and uncertain, especially for kids, having so much change and so much fear,â said Paup. âWe re still dedicated to serving the community and providing our entertainment and arts education.â
