Free annual folk arts and culture festival at Seattle Center over Memorial Day weekend (4th Friday–Monday of May). 5,000+ performers across dozens of stages featuring music, dance, craft, and community traditions from around the world.

Implemented as `sources/recurring/northwest-folklife-festival.yaml`. Schedule uses `4th Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday` of May — the 4th Friday of May is always the Friday before Memorial Day (last Monday of May). Verified against 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 dates.

No ICS feed found on nwfolklife.org. Recurring YAML is the right approach for this annual festival with a predictable date pattern.
