Long Beach Folk Revival Festival Artisanal Foods, Craft Beers & All Things Made in Long Beach
Celebrate the local creative community at the 3rd Annual Long Beach Folk Festival on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 11 a.m to 11 p.m. at Rainbow Lagoon Park in Long Beach. The family-run homegrown music festival brings together Long Beach artisanal foods, craft beer purveyors, a Wee Folk Village, the “Vintage Bazaar” shopping experience, banjos, crafts, beards and pure American live music.
Entertainment and activities for all to enjoy include the favorite annual pie eating contest, the beard & mustache contest, Deering Banjo contest, instrument making, square dancing and bluegrass jams.
Festival goers can sink their teeth into Chef Paul of Primal Alchemy’s robust menu of farm to table homegrown delights exclusively for the event. He’ll be serving BBQ chicken chili with sweet corn pudding, grilled corn salsa and cumin cream fresca, the country sausage, corn bread and red eye gravy burrito, fresh corn on the cob w parmesan garlic butter or an over easy farm egg on kale salad with sweet corn pudding and salsa quemada.
Sweet Lou’s BBQ will be serving up their pork spare ribs done up little red rooster style, marinated and slow cooked to perfection, along with their infamous BBQ pulled pork nachos. The Canvas Truck, which uses only fresh, grass-fed beef, organic produce and freshly baked breads from Los Angeles Homeboy Bakery, will be on-hand for the healthy and humane conscious meat eaters. The Pie Bar will offer handcrafted pies from scratch in mini-mason jars. Rose Park Roasters will be pouring fresh coffee throughout the festival.
Other Long Beach foodie favorites serving on-site include LuckDish Curry, Speedy Mobile Hot Dogs, Red Leprechaun, Propers Pickles, and Long Beach Jerky Co. to name a few.
The festival is pouring multiple craft beer selections to pair with the local grown culinary options. Stone Go To IPA, Stone Delicious IPA, Pizza Port Chronic Amber Ale, Saint Archer White, and Smog City Little Bo Pils are just a few of the labels on tap.
The entire music lineup and schedule can be found here.
VIP ticket holders will enjoy exclusive pours of the Boubon Barrel Aged Arrogant Bastard Ale and a full craft cocktail menu courtesy of Long Beach’s own The Stache Bar.
Tickets are now on-sale for $20 online. Tickets will be available day of the festival for $30. Admission is free for kids under 12 and seniors over 75. Complimentary bike valet is available, so ride down with the whole family for day of good old fashion folk.
