Folk Marathon 2026/27 Newsletter

Dear lovely folky people!

We hope you have a great summer🏄‍♂️

Welcome to this summer's newsletter edition, we are happy to have some nice information for you!

1. Official Announcement
We are very happy to announce Folk Marathon 26/27:

This year, Folk Marathon will be hosted by our amazing friends …

… drumroll …

in Tübingen!

I am sure we all can‘t wait to jam, dance and exchange our favorite Folk music in this beautiful historical university town in Southwest Germany with its long thriving folk music scene. Some of us do know very it well, as Tübingen did host the Folk Marathon exactly 10 years ago.

More details (website, registration, venues, cost…) will follow as they come in, via this newsletter.

Feel free to forward this newsletter to your folky friends and give them the opportunity to subscribe: www.folkmarathon.org/newsletter

2. A Little Surprise:
And now....

A small present for all of you!

Maybe one of the best ways to look forward to the next Folk Marathon, is by celebrating the memories of the past edition:

Dear Folkies,

after the amazing moments of last Folk Marathon we hope each of us started best this new year - may it be full of music and community.

After FM is before FM.
We, the Committee, would like to encourage each one of you out there with the desire to bring Folk Marathon to their town, to start dreaming and to start gathering fellows around you. Build up a team and reach out to us.

During the next weeks we would like to schedule an online meeting with new teams and answer questions reguarding "How to organize Folk Marathon" - If your team is interested, please write us.
If you know that you need time, and project your FM in 2+ years, that's totally okay, let's start the process now.

For the rest,
Have a nice year!

Just received an amazing collection of photos from Toby Kuhn. The link has been shared with all participants in the Telegram chat, and we’ll be gradually uploading most of them to the Балфолкарѝя І Balfolkaríya page.

Thank you, Toby!

Another wonderful edition of the Folk Marathon has come to an end. A huge thank you to everyone who trusted the local team in Bulgaria and joined us in Sofia to celebrate dance and music together. We can’t wait to see where the next edition will take us. Until then, we’re sharing some photos to keep those warm memories alive. The time we spent together was truly incredible.

If you’ve taken photos or videos during the event, we’d love it if you shared them with the team so we can spread them too.

All photos will be shared on Balfolkariya’s Facebook and Instagram pages as they are being edited.
