Indie-Folkfest Presented by VyStar Credit Union at the Mennello Museum is returning on February 15th, 2025!

 

Mennello Museum of American Art is thrilled to announce the return of its 10th Annual Indie-Folkfest, a vibrant celebration of music, art, and community, taking place on February 15, 2025.

 

This beloved festival will feature an exciting lineup of local musicians, delicious food and drinks, and a variety of engaging activities for attendees of all ages, making it a truly one-of-a-kind event in Orlando. Indie-Folkfest 2025 will showcase an incredible mix of live music performances, with local favorites such as Shine and the Shakers, Beth McKee, and her Funky Time Band, Beemo, Claire Vandiver, Skinny McGee and the Handshakes, and Emcee Blue Star taking the stage to deliver a day of lively folk and indie sounds.

 

Festivalgoers can enjoy a diverse selection of delicious food and beverages, with offerings from local favorites including the Guesthouse, The Gnarly Cuban, Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream, Rock Paper Scissors Eat, and many more. There will also be a variety of activities and entertainment for the whole family, including yard games provided by Triangle Lawn Games, project stations, and a bespoke raffle station featuring generous prizes donated by local businesses and attractions.

 

This free event serves as a gift from the Museum’s City-Appointed Board of Trustees to the Orlando community, celebrating local artists, musicians, and businesses while fostering a sense of connection and creativity. A portion of all proceeds from the event will benefit the Mennello Museum of American Art’s education and family-friendly programs.
