  • Artist passes for access to the stage, backstage, and hospitality privileges valid for the duration of the festival. You will also receive passes to attend private artist parties and an information session.

We will do everything we can to ensure that your WINTERFOLK weekend is a rewarding personal and musical growth experience and a large step forward in your career. The event will also include workshops for guitar playing, songwriting, industry seminars for musicians, and more. WINTERFOLK is committed to offering performance opportunities and public exposure to new or emerging artists - and all artists with little or no festival experience.
