Join the street team

Help us spread the word about Arkansas Folklife Festival to your community

Why it matters

The Street Team is the heartbeat of Arkansas Folklife Festival

Without people like you spreading the word, this festival stays a secret. You bring it home to your neighborhood, your workplace, your family. You make it real for people who might never hear about it otherwise. That’s how a community celebration becomes a movement.
