It’s May, and suddenly Seattle transforms into a much brighter, more beautiful city.  Just as blooming foliage and sunny people please the beholder, Folklife festival over at the Seattle Center lifts the senses and makes one step back and admire at all the art, talent and diversity flooding the senses.  With 4 days worth of quality programming in the fields of music (folk, singer/song-writer and traveling gypsy/bard bands, funk, reggae, jazz, and everything in between, plus theater, dancing, and so much more) there is just too much to see.  And that is fine.   That is Folklife!  This year marks the 41st annual Northwest Folklife Festival, taking place at Seattle Center all Memorial Day Weekend long May 25-28.  As always, admission is free, with a suggested donation of $10 per person, or $20 per family.  Celebrating arts and cultures of all kinds, Northwest Folklife has a long history of exploring a topic in depth and opening the doors to all.
