A myriad of cultural events will include musical instruments, live animal petting zoos, pony rides, and lawn games with bowling, cornhole, hula hoops, stilts, and bubbles, to name a few. Additionally, volunteer artists will help youngsters create artwork and handmade crafts to take home. The Youth Stage at the Fairgrounds will feature live entertainment with emerging artists and professional performers from 11 AM until 5 PM in a family-friendly environment.

This year’s event returns to the St. Johns County Fairgrounds on April 14-16, 2023 with four stages featuring performers including:

• • Iris DeMent
  • Bill and the Belles
  • Robin & Linda Williams
  • Richard Smith
  • Annie & the Hot Club
  • Red & Chris Henry and Their All-Star Band.

Festival and camping passes may be purchased here.

Activities attract thousands of spectators to hear renowned singers, songwriters, storytellers, and Americana acts who were influenced by Rogers’ music. The entire music festival showcases dozens of national, regional, and local musicians and storytellers.

Food trucks and arts and crafts vendors will be available all weekend. Festival attendees have the option to stay and camp at the venue with advance reservations. Camping reservations must be made in advance and day-of festival tickets will be available at the gate.

This Gamble Rogers Folk Festival event is made possible with support from the St. Johns County Tourist Development Council and the St. Johns Cultural Council not only to serve the community and surrounding area but also to honor the legacy and memory of the late Gamble Rogers.
