Upper Canada FolkFest 2020  ​– Our Inaugural Concert

UCFF was first conceived in January 2020 with hopes of mid-summer launch. George Tierney, founding member of the group behind this project, felt there was clearly an appetite for another music festival in Eastern Ontario and our chosen genre of folk music was notably missing. George assembled a team with plenty of experience and the planning began.

Says George, “Once live music was allowed to return to local stages (under strict guidelines) we began to wonder if safely launching our festival this year was still a possibility. It began with selecting the venue and seeing if we had a willing host. With the safety of our guests and performers being the single most important consideration, the Prescott Kinsmen Amphitheatre quickly rose to the top of the list. It’s easy to control traffic, separate the performers and seat about 100 people safely in pairs. In short order, the Town of Prescott was on-side”.​

On October 3, 2020 – the day of our concert – the world was in the midst of the global Covid pandemic. Outdoor gathering regulations were in place, limiting our audience to 100 members. Thank you to all the volunteers, performers and audience members whose compliance made this inaugural concert happen!
