The folks at the National Festival are confident enough to continue planning for their 2021 National Folk Festival.
Organisers say that there will likely be many limitations, but they remain hopeful that they can present an event that will have the feel, the heart and the community that has become the National Folk Festival.
The shape of the 2021 event remains uncertain and needless to say it won’t be the National of recent years. Over the past months we have been overwhelmed with support and generosity from our wonderful community. A huge thank you to everyone for your generous donations and messages of support. These wonderful acts of kindness have been very welcomed at a time of uncertainty – National Festival.
