Music will keep us going

We are asking for your support. 

Artists and production staff are fundamental to the arts ecosystem we’re so proud to be part of. They depend heavily on contracts and work with organizations like the Calgary Folk Music Festival to put food on the table for them and their families. The livelihoods of these professionals depend on a strong arts sector. Without you, the creative industries face a long, uncertain future. 

The mounting pressures from the ongoing pandemic have created a precarious environment for event professionals to earn a paycheque. Since March 2020, CFMF has created opportunities in these uncertain times that offer employment to these talented folks. Whether through our digital programming, our reimagined Summer Serenades and Block Heater, or our safe, small, distanced in-person shows at Festival Hall, we have devoted our efforts to creating fantastic musical content for our audience while offering employment to hard-hit industry professionals.

Today, please consider the impact of a donation to the Calgary Folk Music Festival. By making a gift, your dollars help us keep creative professionals contributing to the sector through amazing digital content and live performances. A thriving arts sector makes Calgary stronger.

We appreciate your continued support and generosity.  A donation of any amount helps us maintain a strong foundation and enables us to continue to bring you fantastic programming until we can get back to the festivals we love.
