As we wind down from the excitement and vibrancy of the 2025 festival, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to those who have made it all possible – our invaluable sponsors.

Without your generous support and unwavering commitment to our community, this celebration of music, culture, and camaraderie wouldn't be a success. Your belief in our vision and dedication to enriching the fabric of our town with joy and harmony has truly been the cornerstone of this festival's continued growth and success.

From the bottom of our hearts, we extend our sincerest thanks to each and every one of our sponsors, donors and '“friends of the festival”. Your contributions have played a pivotal role in shaping this year's event into something truly extraordinary. Your partnership not only enables us to showcase the incredible talent of folk artists and brewers but also fosters a sense of unity and togetherness within our community that resonates far beyond the festival grounds.
