We need your support

Live music events are an integral part of our thriving arts community.

The ongoing support of our dedicated donors has allowed the FFSC to make substantial progress in realizing our initiatives of making a lasting impact on our community, keeping ticket prices low and accessible, elevating our talented and hardworking artists and creating seasons full of brilliant music.

The Folk Festival Society of Calgary's estimated cost to fundraise is 5%, so without these generous gifts, the FFSC and its many programs simply would not exist. We extend our biggest thanks and appreciation for your unwavering support.

Friends of the Festival Donor Program

Join the Movement. Support the Music. Be a Friend of the Festival!

At the Calgary Folk Music Festival, Stage 3 has become the Friends of the Festival Stage. A community stage that is supported entirely by passionate folkies like you — individual donors who believe that music, community, and tradition should not only thrive, but be carried forward for generations to come. The Festival should always belong to the people who love it most.

These donors stepped up because they care about keeping this experience vibrant, grassroots, and sustainable — now and in the years to come. And they are inviting you to be a part of it!

Through this initiative, we've created a tiered Friends of the Festival donor program, offering multiple ways to get involved, along with access to exclusive events, special perks, and meaningful recognition.

We can’t wait to share many unforgettable musical moments with you. ✨

The Calgary Folk Music Festival, Block Heater and Calgary Folk Music Festival’s year-round concert series are just some of the ways that we bring people together in the celebration of music, but these initiatives are only made possible with the ongoing support from sponsors, granting organizations, and you — our donors.

We ask that you please consider the impact of a donation to the Calgary Folk Music Festival as we continue to bring you thoughtfully curated, community minded events.

Please make a gift or become a monthly donor today.
