Our Story

Folkus began as a three-concert winter folk series in January 2002. From the beginning, this series has served as a safe haven for musicians in the colder months; but we are also a place where neighbour meets neighbour, where old friends are greeted warmly and where new friendships are formed.

Now in our second decade, and with the kind support of the Ontario Arts Council and The Government of Canada (Canadian Heritage), we are looking forward to another exciting series to take the chill off winter.

OUR VENUE

All of our series concerts are held in the Old Town Hall in Almonte, Ontario. Built in 1884, the auditorium’s soaring ceiling of hand-hewn Douglas Fir beams offers an acoustic setting unparalleled in the area. Our space has been used for recording classical and pop concerts for CBC Radio 2, folk albums by local artists, and even rock albums by visiting artists.
