The crowd hears Rhiannon Giddens and Justin Robinson during the National Folk Festival in September 2015. This year, more than 100,000 people are expected to attend the free festival downtown. Producing the event is costly, but organizers have raised about $900,000 of the needed $1.3 million.

Folk festivals elsewhere

When the National Folk Festival moves on from Greensboro after 2017, Greensboro plans to continue it as the North Carolina Folk Festival. Here is a look at three folk festivals that began as the National Folk Festival and continue as locally-run events.

RICHMOND FOLK FESTIVAL

Where: Richmond, Va. Website: richmondfolkfestival.org

History: National Folk Festival 2005-2007. Became the Richmond Folk Festival run by Venture Richmond, a nonprofit downtown organization, in 2008.

2016 dates: Oct. 7-9

Estimated attendance: More than 200,000 in 2015.

2015 cost: $1.6 million expenses; $1.5 million income, including cash and in-kind contributions. Private sponsorships totaled $620,000. "We always subsidize this event from other sources internally," festival Director Lisa Sims said.

2015 contributions to bucket brigade: $122,000. Suggests $10 contribution per person per day.

Estimated economic impact: Venture Richmond has not collected data.

Source: Venture Richmond.

LOWELL FOLK FESTIVAL

Where: Lowell, Mass. Website: lowellfolkfestival.org

History: National Folk Festival 1987-1989. Became locally-run Lowell Folk Festival in 1990.

2016 dates: July 29-31

Estimated attendance: 130,000

Cost: About $1.1 million in cash and in-kind services. "This was a record year in the amount of money we raised because of our 30th anniversary," said Craig A. Gates, executive director of the nonprofit Lowell Festival Foundation. As in past four years, he expects a surplus, which goes toward other foundation events.

Bucket Brigade contributions: $50,000. Suggests $10 contribution per person per day.

Estimated economic impact: $6.73 million in 2015, including money spent at the festival on food, beverages and merchandise, as well as hotel stays, gas and parking.

MONTANA FOLK FESTIVAL

Where: Butte, Mont. Website: montanafolkfestival.com

History: National Folk Festival 2008-2010. Became the Montana Folk Festival in 2011, organized by nonprofit Mainstreet Uptown Butte.

2016 dates: July 8-10

Estimated attendance: 140,000. "We had a huge rain on the Sunday that forced us to close two stages," festival Director George Everett said. "We lost quite a bit of revenue we gather on site because of that."

Cost: About $650,000 in cash and in-kind contributions. It's trying to raise money to fill a $50,000 shortfall, Everett said.

Bucket Brigade contributions: About $93,000. Suggests $20 contribution per person per day, $25 for families.

Estimated economic impact: About $25 million a year in years past. Surveyed attendees this year on festival-related spending, but results have not been compiled yet.
