The Peterborough Folk Festival has programming for youth of all ages, including the Emerging Artist Award, Local-Vocal-Live (our twice-annual young songwriters' workshop and performance, 14-21), and a Children's Village (0-early teen) at the festival.

The Emerging Artist Award

Youth at the Festival

We welcome children of all ages to the festival, but have some very special programming available for the pre-teen set in our Children's Village on Saturday, August 23 2008.

Activities include face painting, workshops, a noise parade, the famous Solar Death Ray, and much more!

The Children's Village is for kids and parents. Parents must supervise children in this area at all times. Don't forget to drink lots of water, and wear hats and sunscreen!

The Children’s Village is open 12 noon - 5 pm.
