Folkfest Gives Back -
Connecting through Culture

A Messsage Regarding Covid-19

Thursday, May 7th, 2020

It is with profound sadness that we announce the indefinite postponement of Folkfest 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic 

The heart of Folkfest’s mandate is to gather people together to share and experience cultural traditions. For four decades, our festival has strengthened community ties through a multicultural celebration of diversity and inclusivity. We are as disappointed as you are that it will not be possible this summer. This was not an easy decision to make, nonetheless we felt that this was the only way to ensure the safety of our organizers, patrons and volunteers. It is very difficult to witness the unprecedented challenges the cultural sector is collectively facing. However, Folkfest members are a resilient group and as an organization we are committed to getting through this together.
