COVID Policy as of August 2024: The following is subject to change depending on the viral status.
- Masks are no longer required, but are strongly encouraged for attending our shows. Exceptions will be made if performers require masking of the audience, and will be publicized. If you’ve already purchased tickets for a show and feel uncomfortable with this, please request a refund by email to concerts@seafolklore.org

Our highest priority for our in-person concerts is promoting a safe environment, where performers and audiences alike can feel comfortable gathering. Though we all hope for the best, we don’t know if this virus is through with us yet.
Check your concert times to avoid confusion!
Saturday concerts “Live at the Phinney Center” start at 7:30pm.
Sunday night concerts and online only concerts usually start at 7:00 pm.
Doors generally open 30 minutes before the start time.
Co-sponsored concerts at alternate venues may have different times. (Check your ticket confirmation and/or the venue or organizer’s website!)
