Join the Bucket Brigade and Keep the Lowell Folk Festival Free! - Inside Lowell

As the Lowell Folk Festival quickly approaches I am in the throws of corraling an army of volunteers for the festival’s Bucket Brigade.

For nearly a decade the final two weeks leading up to festival weekend have been filled with phone calls, visits, social media posts, and more recently InsideLowell articles encouraging folks in our community to give a few hours of their time to help ensure that the Lowell Folk Festival, in all its greatness, remains free for years to come. After all, the Lowell Folk Festival is free to attend, but it is not free to put on. It costs over $1 million and the Bucket Brigade provides a significant source of funding.

Thankfully, the volunteer schedule always fills up at the last minute (maybe people can feel my stress?). As my Facebook memories confirm year after year, despite my concerns about participation, Lowellians rally together when it counts the most, ensuring that our Bucket Bridage is strong and enthusiastic throughout the duration of the festival.
