The 18th annual CU Folk & Roots Festival will be held Thursday, October 8 through Saturday, October 10!

If you were at our Winter Weekend event earlier this month, you may have heard us announce our festival dates to be the previous weekend. The festival has decided to move our dates forward by one week, so as to not conflict with the UIUC Homecoming 2026.

Mark (or re-mark!) your calendars! Can’t wait to see you October!
