Sponsorship Opportunities!

The Regina Folk Festival  presents an amazing weekend of music and community once a year right in the heart of Regina’s downtown. The 2011 edition of the RFF, which rolls around August 5th - 7th, promises a spectacularly good time for one and all.  The festival offers a weekend outside of the regular routine where we can all let go of our stresses and worries and just be together in celebration of exceptional music from both near and far. With highly anticipated ticketed Mainstage shows, free daytime concerts and workshop sessions, a lively, fun Children’s Area, chances to peruse the arts market and international food court, festival record store and hang in the Big Rock Garden, there is no lack of ways to bask in the glow of the RFF.  When Monday comes, all too soon, people wake up and tell us “That was the best weekend ever!”

It begs the question:  Was your company a part of it?

If not, it certainly can be!  Our 2011 Sponsorship Guides are now available!  Please see our Sponsorship webpage for more information!
