A family-friendly day of laidback music, jamming, crafts, storytelling, and folk dancing on a church lawn -- that's the Blue Sky Folk Festival. While you can see some of the area's best folk and traditional artists and headliner Nora Jane Struthers & the Party Line on the indoor stage, you get a discount for bringing an instrument to join in one of the jam-session tents. It's about participation as well as listening. Fri 5/4.
