What do good music and good books have in common? Plenty, not the least of which is the good folks who love them! In this new initiative, the Winnipeg Folk Festival will bring a bit of the festival to the Millennium Library, year-round. Whether you’re a seasoned attendee or a folkie-in-training, there’ll be something for you.
All programs are free and open to the public. No registration is required. For more information call the Winnipeg Folk Festival 231-0096, Millennium Library Reader Services 986-6779, or email info@winnipegfolkfestival.ca.
Folk for Families
Children love folk music too! There’s no time like the present to get our wee folk in
the festival spirit! Local family performers will have little ones singing,
dancing, and learning, all while having fun.
Saturday afternoons at 1:30–2:30 p.m., at the Millennium Library Children’s Services. Admission is free.
