Hello and welcome to the 22nd Annual Winterfolk Festival, now featuring its first-ever Spring Edition! We’re thrilled to have you here at Toronto’s historic Redwood Theatre.

At Winterfolk, you’ll find three fantastic stages to enjoy. The main stage, where you currently are, will be running non-stop until midnight, ensuring continuous entertainment throughout the day and evening.

Upstairs, we have a workshop stage and an open stage for artists to sign up and play a few tunes that will be active until 6:00 PM today.

Don’t forget to visit our cozy lounge on the second floor, open until midnight, where you might just have the chance to mingle with your favorite musicians and friends. Artists may even drop hints about their lounge visits, or feel free to ask them directly.

Our dedicated team of volunteers is working hard to ensure Winterfolk is an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for everyone in the music community.

If you have any questions or need more information, look out for our friendly greeters—they’re easily recognizable by their bright white Winterfolk Badge of honor. Don’t forget to hug a volunteer.

There are posters around the room which contain a QR link to the performance schedule on your devices.

To make sure everyone has a great time, we kindly ask that noise levels are kept to a minimum while artists are performing. Sets start at the beginning of each hour and last about 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break between sets.

Winterfolk extends its gratitude to our sponsors whose financial support has made this event possible. A big thank you to the Canadian Government, Long & McQuade Musical Instruments, and the Socan Foundation.

Enjoy the festival, and if you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly team!
