What We Do
Since 1976, Portland Folkmusic Society has been active preserving, presenting and promoting folk music and arts in the greater Portland Oregon area. PFS sponsors song circles, concerts, workshops and retreats — in person and virtual — and helps its members and the whole community pass the word around about folk music events, from old time ballads to sea shanties, from 60s protest folk to contemporary singer-songwriters.
