The Korrö Festival

About Me



Layout by CoolChaser
Welcome to the Korrö Festival MySpace!
It all began on a very small scale one rainy weekend at the end of July 1985. The folk music group Sågskära gathered together a few musicians and friends, for a celebration with drone music at its centre. Over the following years the gathering grew, and visitors began to arrive from all over Europe. In the middle of the 1990s, the gathering transformed into a fully fledged folk music festival, and in recent years has become one of Sweden’s largest and most talked-about folk music events! Nowhere else in Sweden will you have access to the breadth of Swedish and Nordic folk music offered by the Korrö Festival. At the same time, the festival has retained its original intimate and approachable atmosphere.
Korrö Festival takes place every year over four beautiful summer days in the last weekend of July, and consists of some hundred concerts, around ten short courses and workshops, three different dance floors and activities for children, together with concerts with special themes or settings. For example, this year sees the repetition of a large folkmusic mass in Rävemåla church on Sunday.
Over the past few years the festival has also developed a much more obvious youth presence, marked not least during last year’s festival, where the average age of both festival-goers and artists was the lowest it has ever been. Leading into this year’s festival, there is also a week-long course for young people from all over the country. The festival is dependent on a series of volunteers from the region, all of whom are involved in the folk-music scene, and who provide the hub from which the festival is able to continue to function as a platform for exchange and collaboration. This year’s Korrö Folk Music Festival is sponsored by several businesses in the district of Tingsryds, and the remaining contributors and arrangers are Musik i Syd, Föreningen Valshuset, Sågskära, Smålands Musikarkiv, Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan, Tingsryds kommun and Nöbbele Bollklubb.
