Hey Hey my my!!
Well hello bells. It’s got to be me
Where else would one go but to the Crystal Ballroom to listen to some awesome folk music! 🎶 Can’t wait.
I’m very folksy and love music 🎵🎶. And it sounds like a great opportunity to listen to a variety of artists in a comfortable indoor setting.
Folk yeah! I want to go to this! 🙌
Awesome I’ve never been able to go because I’m usually out of money by that time of year
This sounds awesome!
My mother will be visiting and Id love to be able to take her to this.
Thanks !
Would love to go to this fest!
I keep missing the folk fesitval and I REALLY wanna go this year!
OK Folk it is. My fave genre !!! Portland has the best musicians.
Great Folks!
Folk yeah!
Fantastic way to start a new year 🎶 🌙 🎸!
Sounds like a great time. Id love to go
Would love to go!
I would love to give this special experience to my husband. I am in the Peace Corps and we have been apart for almost 6 months. By the time January rolls around, it will be 1 year!
would love to get Folky and Funky at this festival
ive been interested in this event for a few years, im always seeking to discover new local bands and i love folk, ive just never been able to swing it financially
folk yeah
What the folk? I’m in…
For obvious reasons, this would be folkin’ amazing! My wife and I would have a great time!
This sounds like my kinda winter place to be!! Sign me up. Thanks Pipeline!!
Sounds so folking fun!
Folk is fun
EVERY year I see this come up but I’ve never attended. I didn’t realize that it’s at different venues all around town and would be PUMPED to finally go. I haven’t looked at the lineup but I’ll let that be a surprise for after I win 😉
Ron Swanson: “I don’t think you understand…I said I wanted ALL the folk music.” XD
What a great festival and something new to check out
Always a good time!
I can’t think of anything I’d like better to do in January!
I would love to beat the winter blues with some fun music and good vibes ❤️
I look forward to the festival every year. Thanks for keeping us informed, PDX pipeline
Sounds like a blast!
Want to go see live music!
I can’t believe I am entering for tickets 6 months out
Such a fan!
Yes please!
Yes
Yes please
I’m trying to make amends to my high school bestie that I haven’t hung out with in years and I think that this would be a good start! Oh yeah and my birthday is on 4 days!
wooo!
Sounds fun!
Yes please!
Would love to go!
Freakin yes, I would love to go
“Hello In There”, don’t give me “The Sound of Silence”, or leave me “Blow’n In The Wind”, I have the “Urge For Going” to the 2026 Portland’s Folk Festival, so let me be “The Chosen One”, it’s my “Turn, Turn, Turn”!
If you don’t pick me, “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right”, there are “No Regrets”. I will just hit the “Road” and walk “Across the Great Divide” (Burnside Bridge) in “Our Town” and “Puff The Magic Dragon”, however, “The Water is Wide”, so I better take a “Big Yellow Taxi” back to NW Portland…oh yeah…we don’t have those anymore. It’s a “Wild World” isn’t it?!
I’m down!
looks so cute!!!
Excellent way to begin 2026. I’d love to go.
Yes!! Folk festival!! Live music, always a good time.
i am folk and love folk
I have always wanted to go! I’ll get down on the dance floor and swing my friends and neighbors around! Please pick me! ⭐️🌈🎻🪕
Would love to go to this! We have so many wonderful local artists!
Because I grew up in the 80s on a healthy diet of OG folk artists like John Denver, Cat Stevens, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Tom Paxton, Van Morrison and so many more who the set the stage for my love of today’s folk rock artists like Hollow Coves, Griffin House and Mason Jennings.
This would be my jam and a cure to my winter time blues!
folk festival yes! <3
I adore folk music, always wanted to go to music festivals (but alas, we all completely broke out here) and this one sounds so awesome
I’d love to go!
Love this festival. Pick me please.
W~O~W…2026 is already looking good! I hope you pick me! I’ll even thank you in advance 😉
I would love to go to this festival, because I love folk music. I would so appreciate winning tickets, as I am underemployed and don’t have the means to be able to go and experience this wonderful music otherwise.
I hope you pick me! I’ll even thank you in advance 😉 No, really…THANK YOU!
Would love to go!
I just discovered the Crystal Ballroom. This would be amazing!
This would be SO AMAZING! I’d love to take my 7-year-old to get him into folk. <3

There’s no better way to chase off post holiday blahs than with live music! Plus I decided my New Year’s resolution for 2026 — I want to explore the Portland music scene. This means stepping outside my comfort zone and trying new things. Won’t you help get my new year started off right?!

Folk is our legacy, esp now with the world falling apart.
Some much wisdom, goodness, and inspiration in the genre that it greatly informs the rest.
Have always wanted to go, but could never afford it! Winning tix woul be great!
I’d love to be able to bring someone who has never been to this awesome event. Pick me!

We have not had the opportunity to go because of the cost, but at any given time you could come to our home and be treated to my husband playing his guitar and harmonica signing just about any Dylan song you’d like.
