The Folk Festival has received two capital grants, from 2023 and 2024, totalling $35,400, enabling organizers to acquire equipment needed for the festival’s operation. Funds from the most recent grant — $19,500 awarded this past summer — enabled the group to purchase new portable stage platforms and signage that will ensure it continues to deliver high quality presentations of musical performances and will help visitors to better navigate the festival’s site.
