The Folk Festival & Mill City Sound

A walking tour of the stages, plazas, and mill landmarks that host America's largest free folk festival.

Music happens in rooms, and the rooms matter. These are the ones in Lowell. Five stops over 1.6 miles, about an hour of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the six MassRoam tours in Lowell, this is the music one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
