The Westerleigh Folk Festival (WestFest)

The Westerleigh Folk Festival is an all-day, nonprofit music and arts festival that has been taking place in Westerleigh Park on Staten Island for over 17 years. This event has grown to include two performance stages that accommodate approximately 14 music groups each year, a large network of food and craft vendors, pony rides, art workshops, and children’s activities.

 

The mission of this event is to provide a free multicultural and multigenerational day of art to the greater Staten Island community in order to foster an appreciation of arts and culture in our borough. We believe that the arts have the power to bring people together and hope this event will support unity in our community!
