The Champaign-Urbana Folk and Roots Festival organization have announced the dates for their event’s 2017 iteration. The ninth annual C-U Folk and Roots Fest will occur in November from Thursday the 2nd through Saturday the 4th. The grassroots, all volunteer-run festival is completely organized by participating members of the community, creating a unique multimedia event with an emphasis on collaboration and harmony.
