There is a thread for UK festivals. We can use one also. I usually go to three festivals and have found info on two of them.

Old Songs Festival June 25-27 Virtual
FSGW Getaway October 8-11 Virtual

Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival, usually early June, no word yet. The Seaport has been open for months - it is mostly outside. I emailed to ask about the festival and will report back when/if I hear anything.

The good thing about virtual festivals is that one can attend things that are further away. The bad part is that you don't get to see and talk to friends.
