Folk Alliance International (FAI) is an international arts nonprofit and NEA-designated National Arts Service Organization based in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Founded in 1989, we’re a community of passionate and driven artists, managers, agents, DJs, festivals, record labels, fans, and more. We exist to keep the tradition of folk music thriving through preservation, presentation, and promotion.

The Tucson Folk Festival is a FREE and accessible festival celebrating Americana and Folk Music traditions and all the wonderful variations, including bluegrass, blues, country, jazz, Celtic, zydeco, and various styles of Latin and Mexican music! This annual family-friendly festival is held in some of the most historic sections of Tucson.

Joshua Tree Music Festival is a family-friendly global music affair. Our family of funsters has grown organically since the inaugural JTMF took place on April 11-13, 2003. Whether it’s your first JTMF or your 20th, we look forward to welcoming you twice a year, each May and October in the magical Mojave desert.
