The mission of the Takoma Park Folk Festival, Inc. is to present a free annual folk festival in Takoma Park each September that celebrates the arts and the Takoma Park-Silver Spring community. The event, which is held rain or shine, presents six stages of music, a juried crafts show, international food, community nonprofit tables, and children’s games and activities. The Festival offers free shuttle buses (with wheelchair accessibility) to the Takoma Metro station.

​The goals of TPFF are to: 

- Present a day of folk music, handcrafts, and food of many traditions that can be enjoyed by folks of all ages.

- Encourage the enjoyment of the cultural and ethnic diversity of the local and wider community.

- Celebrate the wealth of musical and artistic talent found in Takoma Park and the greater Washington community.

- Raise money for programs that benefit the young people of Takoma Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.

- Encourage a sense of community and spirit of volunteerism by involving as many segments of the community as possible in producing the festival.

- Increase community awareness by providing a forum for local nonprofit organizations to distribute literature and answer questions.
