Shelter Valley Folk Festival
September 02, 2011 to September 04, 2011
Shelter Valley Folk Festival began around a kitchen table in the fall of 2003, imagined by local songwriter and arts advocate Aengus Finnan. A dedicated group of friends and strangers (a lawyer, a social worker, an art therapist, a recent art college grad, a songwriter, an engineer, a newspaper reporter, a retired teacher, a high-school student, and a Fair Trade coffee-shop entrepreneur) gathered regularly to envision what a cultural community event centred on fantastic folk music might look like and entail.
A location was found in the fallow fields of the generous Henkel family, who to this day request that in lieu of rent the Festival direct those proceeds to a charity donation of their choice each year. Their farm, located in the rolling hills of east Northumberland County (90 minutes east of Toronto) has a spectacular view of Lake Ontario and offers a magical setting.
Location: Box 29 (located at 10831 County Rd. 2), K0K 2G0 Grafton, ON
