Founded in 1976 as Portland Folklore Society, PFS was an umbrella folk organization that spun off the Portland Country Dance Community and the Oregon Bluegrass Organization. We have organized a weekend of folk singing, Singtime Frolics, each March for over 30 years; we maintain a comprehensive calendar of folk events, published in our bi-monthly newsletter, Local Lore, and on our website; we produce a monthly concert series from Sept. through May; we sponsor song circles and other events.
