The Big Sur Folk Festival, held from 1964 to 1971 in California, was an informal gathering of prominent and emerging folk artists from across the United States. Nancy Jane Carlen (1941-2013) was working at the Esalen Institute when Joan Baez was asked to lead workshops on music. Carlen was a good friend of Baez, and they decided to invite other artists, which turned into the first festival.

The Big Sur Folk Festival, held from 1964 to 1971 in California, was an informal gathering of prominent and emerging folk artists from across the United States. Nancy Jane Carlen (1941-2013) was working at the Esalen Institute when Joan Baez was asked to lead workshops on music. Carlen was a good friend of Baez, and they decided to invite other artists, which turned into the first festival. Baez performed at all seven events. Well-known acts included Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, the Beach Boys, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Kris Kristofferson, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Taj Mahal, Dorothy Morrison with the Edwin Hawkins Singers, and Julie Payne. All of the artists were paid union scale, about $50. The audience paid $3.50 to $5.50, depending on the year. All proceeds benefitted Baez's Institute for the Study of Nonviolence. Carlen intended it to be a friendly and low-key event that allowed artists to relax after their long summer concert series. It was held except for one year in front of the pool at the Esalen Institute on the Big Sur coast. The second-to-last year was held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds. Carlen purposefully kept advertising to a minimum to help keep crowds small. Richard and Mimi Fariña performed for the first time at the festival, which led to a recording contract. At the September 1969 festival, a documentary film was made. Celebration at Big Sur featured many performers who had played only four weeks earlier at Woodstock from August 15–18. The festival was later considered by some as the antithesis of the commercial Woodstock, but it was originally seen by the artists an antidote to the Newport Folk Festival.

O Big Sur Folk Festival foi uma reunião informal de artistas proeminentes e emergentes do folk estadunidense, realizada de 1964 a 1971 na Califórnia, nos Estados Unidos. Nancy Jane Carlen (1941-2013) trabalhava no Esalen Institute quando Joan Baez recebeu um pedido de realização de oficinas musicais. Carlen era uma grande amiga de Baez, e ambas decidiram convidar outros artistas, no que acabou sendo o primeiro festival de Big Sur. Baez se apresentou nas sete edições do evento. Entre as apresentações mais famosas, podem ser citadas as de Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, The Beach Boys, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Country Joe McDonald, John Sebastian, Kris Kristofferson, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Taj Mahal (músico), Dorothy Morrison com Edwin Hawkins, e Julie Payne. Todos os artistas foram pagos segundo os valores do sindicato, aproximadamente cinquenta dólares estadunidenses. O público pagou de 3,50 a 5,50 dólares estadunidenses, dependendo do ano. Toda a renda foi revertida para o Instituto de Estudo da Não Violência, de Baez. Carlen queria que o evento fosse agradável e discreto, permitindo que os artistas relaxassem após a longa temporada de concertos de verão. Com exceção de um ano, foi realizado em frente à piscina do Instituto Esalen, na costa do Big Sur. O penúltimo evento foi realizado no Monterey County Fairgrounds. Propositalmente, Carlen manteve a publicidade dos eventos num nível mínimo, visando a evitar grandes multidões. Richard e Mimi Fariña tocaram pela primeira vez no festival, o que fez com que eles conseguissem assinar um contrato com uma gravadora. No festival de setembro de 1969, foi realizado um documentário sobre o evento. Celebration at Big Sur apresentou muitos artistas que, quatro semanas antes, haviam tocado no festival de Woodstock. Posteriormente, o festival de Big Sur foi considerado a antítese do comercial festival de Woodstock, mas, originalmente, ele havia sido considerado a antítese do Newport Folk Festival.
