Winterfolk Works with Toronto Area Roots Music Community Partners

Winterfolk works with various organizations and presenters within the Toronto music community, offering them stages at the festival. We aim to help increase their public visibility, attract larger audiences, encourage  new membership, offer exposure for their events, and generally assist in helping them meet their goals and mission statement. We encourage all community presenters to talk about their events, and entertain and engage the audience while on Winterfolk Community stages.
