Winterfolk
What is Winterfolk’s Mission?
Winterfolk was formed to entertain, educate, enlighten, engage and encourage our community about various folk music styles including roots, blues, folk and more. Winterfolk is presented by ‘The Association of Artists for A Better World’, a registered Non-Profit Organization, in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Winterfolk folk has no paid employees, and maintains no staff. Funds received from submissions are used towards festival expenses, the majority of which is paid to the artists.
