The American Folk Festival on the Bangor Waterfront has been named as one of the Country’s 15 Best Small Town Festivals by Fodor’s Travel.

“We are extremely pleased to be included in Fodor’s list of 15 best small-town festivals,” said American Folk Festival Executive Director Heather McCarthy. “The American Folk Festival strives to create a multicultural experience of music, dance, art and storytelling that reaches across all age groups. Recognition from a publication as well-respected as Fodor’s not only reinforces what we are aiming to accomplish, but it also helps to tell the story of this festival and this region to travelers from across the nation and the globe.”

Fodor’s, the largest publisher of English language travel and tourism information, announced its list of America’s Best 15 Small Town Festivals earlier this month. In addition to the American Folk Festival, Fodor’s included festivals in New York, Florida, Vermont, and Colorado in its list of the best 15 in the country.

“The American Folk Festival continues to bring world class entertainers to Bangor’s historic waterfront, and we are just as excited as ever about the acts that we have already lined up for 2015,” said McCarthy. “We say it every year, but we mean it every year — this year’s lineup is one that you will not want to miss.
