Enough already of a too-long winter and Elbows Up! Springtime promises and along with it comes FEMME FOLKS FEST, Waterloo Region’s annual festival in celebration of women and the allies that love and support them. Like a friendly, warm chat over the fence we invite you to gather with us and celebrate the mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and grandmothers in our lives and our community. We’re ready for good news, sunlight and all the joy it brings.
For this, our 7th Festival we present performances for all ages: In comedy, theatre, music, storytelling and dance. We open with a Family Comedy and Music Jam brought to you by the good folks from Pinch Arts. We’re super delighted to host exciting young dance company, Frog in Hand for an Artistic Residency throughout the Festival. Artistic Director Colleen Snell and six members of the company will be sharing a sneak-peek of their process and their work mid-week which is a Do Not Miss. Lots lots lots more – subscribe to the Daily Heartbeat which comes out early each morning during the Festival to keep up on all events.
