Celebrating folk music at Heckscher Park

The Huntington Folk Festival took place Saturday, July 17, at Heckscher Park. The 15th annual event featured the Long Island-based Americana band Quarter Horse as the headliner.

The free event was co-presented by the Folk Music Society of Huntington and the Huntington Arts Council as part of the 56th Huntington Summer Arts Festival.

Michael Kornfeld, president of the Folk Music Society of Huntington and editor and publisher of AcousticMusicScene.com, conducted an on-stage conversational interview with the featured and opening artists prior to the show.
