The Door County Folk Festival (DCFF), which since 1978 has touched the lives of thousands of folk dance and music-lovers, has announced its first-ever GoFundMe campaign in order to expand the Festival’s programming and audience development.
The DCFF is known throughout the folk dance world as a creatively fun and educational extended weekend of dancing, music, singing and camaraderie that annually attracts hundreds of participants from throughout the world to Door County, Wisconsin.
The Festival is also user-friendly, enjoyable and participatory, and offers opportunities for learning, networking and making friends in a congenial, relaxed, community atmosphere; it also offers options for attendees of all levels of ability, experience and interest. The Door Peninsula itself offers many activities and experiences for non-dancing family members, friends, and significant others. With the objective of evolving the DCFF into the future, the Festival initiated its GoFundMe Campaign with a goal of raising $7,500 in 2017.
