Educational Workshops

We had a wonderful Fair this year! Thanks to the fantastic Parks & Rec staff at Pinellas Park. We are planning our 50th International Folk Fair right now. Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of different cultures through our educational workshops and interactive sessions.

March 5th is for elementary & middle schools; March 6th is for middle and high schools; March 7th is the public day.
