The Tucson Kitchen Musicians Association (TKMA) was established to further public awareness and interest in acoustic music and other folk arts by promoting and producing the annual Tucson Folk Festival. TKMA is an all-volunteer-operated, member-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Our Festival is one of the oldest folk music festivals in the country that is offered FREE to the public! We are quite proud of that fact and greatly appreciate the strong support we receive from our generous community to produce this annual event. Thank you, Tucson!
