CT Folk Fest & Green Expo shifting to a virtual platform for concert series

NEW HAVEN - CT Folk thanks the community for its continued support of our organization, and the current roll-out of our virtual programming, including the CT Folk at Home concert series.

The CT Folk at Home series seeks to bring music to our Connecticut audience through an online platform; it is not lost on us that this virtual shift also allows us to reach out beyond our current fanbase and listenership geographically and demographically.

Safety has become a priority for artists and arts venues alike.
In keeping with CDC guidelines and navigating through an evolving pandemic-driven landscape, CT Folk has made the decision to shift our annual CT Folk Fest & Green Expo, typically held in Edgerton Park, to an expanded listening audience, with a multi-day virtual platform this September. 

“Like most arts organizations, CT Folk has had to close its physical doors and suspend in-person programming for the near future. As purveyors of folk music, we rely on the folk tradition of building community and looking to expand that community continually, which has posed particular challenges during these times. And it calls for creative and collaborative ways to continue to build community and support the artists who provide us with great music --- but who have also been hard hit by this shifting landscape,” Board President Lisa Kaston said.

Please visit our website to learn more about upcoming virtual concerts and CT Folk Fest plans at CTFolk.org and via Facebook/Instagram (@CTFolk).

CT Folk is dedicated to the furtherance of social justice and environmental initiatives that impact our local, as well as global community, and to the advancement of music in all of its varied forms. We note that CT Folk embraces an evolving and more expansive definition of the term “folk”, to better reflect, nurture, and celebrate a culturally rich listening and artist community. 

CT Folk is an approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which through several organizational changes, has been bringing a diverse and evolving mix of music to our listening community since 1989. 

Contributions to CT Folk are tax-deductible.
