There are lots of great reasons to become a Friend of the Festival! What will yours be?

Mary Barnett says, “I became a ‘Friend of the Festival’ without hesitation! I plan my whole year around the Richmond Folk Festival, and that is no kind of exaggeration. It truly is Richmond at its finest: people are happy, kind, patient, and having a great time! The music is amazing, and I almost always find myself most taken with music that is completely new to me. I love sharing the festival with family and friends, and have particularly enjoyed watching my grandchildren learn to love it, too!”
