Appalachian Festival Returns to FSU Sept. 19 Through 21 With “Home in Appalachia”Frostburg State University’s much-anticipated Appalachian Festival will return to campus for its 19th year Thursday, Sept. 19, to Saturday, Sept. 21. The free, family-friendly event brings together artists and craftspeople to celebrate all that makes the region unique – its history, culture, music and dance, folk arts, food and more – with performances, workshops, displays, discussions and activities. This year’s event focuses on “Home in Appalachia.”The festival opens Thursday afternoon, when Frostburg First will host the dedication of “Anchors of Endurance” public artwork from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Frostburg Museum, 50 E. Main St. The piece celebrates and honors the history and impact of the Brownsville/Park Avenue community.That evening at 7 p.m., at the Palace Theatre, 31 E. Main St., the festival will host the film “I’ve Endured: The Music and Legacy of Ola Belle Reed,” a documentary reflecting on the life of this remarkable musician, singer and songwriter whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape. Even after leaving her Appalachian home for coastal Maryland, Reed’s regional roots remained strong. Her powerful voice and lyrics spoke authentically of her rural background, and her passionate songs found a home in the folk-revival movement of the 1960s and beyond. Reed’s songs have become anthems of Appalachian life, and she is widely recognized as one of the most influential bluegrass, folk and old-time musicians of all time.The festival and its programming are sponsored by the Cultural Events Series, 91.9 WFWM, the city of Frostburg, the Maryland Traditions Program of the Maryland State Arts Council, Frostburg State University, the FSU Foundation, FrostburgFirst, Weis Market and Friends Aware.For more information, visit the festival’s website at www.frostburg.edu/events/afestival.
