Folkfest is product of faith, vision and lots of work The Springville World Folkfest Folk-fest as it exists today is the product prod-uct of faith, foresight and hard work on the part of people (mostly (most-ly volunteers) who had a great vision of an annual, worldwide cultural exchange based on folk arts in Springville. Faith in the project drew the financial support of the Springville Spring-ville City Council at a time when few city leaders would have seen beyond fiscal concerns. Hundreds of citizens in Utah provide food, transportation and beds for visiting visit-ing performers every year. Thousands Thou-sands of hours are given by volunteers who can see all the benefits of this wonderful event. Founded in 1985 with its first performances in August of 1996, the first Springville World Folkfest Folk-fest delivered 12 performances and four folk parades with 460 dancers from 13 countries. The festival is now in its 17th year and is the largest international folk, dance festival in the United States. With continual improvements improve-ments in overall management, stage facilities, lighting, sound and other aspects, the festival is now better than ever. One of the primary goals of the Folkfest is to foster love and understanding among people of all lands and cultures. From the first experience of becoming part of an American family in Springville Spring-ville to saying goodbye to a dear friend made during nine or 10 days of festival exchanges and performances, the World Folkfest offers a true opportunity for participants and patrons to come to know, understand and even love one another. The Folkfest is probably best epitomized by an international dance called the "Farandahl," which is traditionally danced on the last night of the festival. Participants and patrons of all nations join hands in a giant, surging chain. They move in and out with simple steps to lively music and form one laughing, happy tapestry of mankind. This year's Folkfest will feature six evening performances and a free street dance.
