The first ever Little York Folk Festival will be held on May Day, Sunday May 1st, 2016 at the Tranzac Club in Toronto.

The Little York Folk Festival Manifesto:

To create a hub for Toronto's rich and varied folk and roots music communities, to foster connections, share skills and have a ridiculously good time. Join us for an all-day hullabaloo, full of workshops, concerts and a big dance to cap off the night!

Here's the line-up:

Balfolk/Square Dance Square-Off! European and Appalachian folk dances fight to the death. With folks from the Balfolk and Hogtown Hoedown dance communities. Dance lessons provided. No experience necessary!
