This year the Festival received a generous contribution from Target in conjunction with its Community Giving program, which offers store-based grants in support of projects which promote early childhood education, the arts, and family violence prevention. The Target Community Giving funds supported the Children’s Area and the performers.
This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. This grant funded the Workshop and some of the Main Stage performers.
The Festival is pleased to be collaborating with the Northwest Area Arts Council which is presenting the Second Annual Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair at McHenry County College on July 18, 19, 20, 2008. We encourage everyone interested in folk arts to visit the fair on Friday and/or Saturday, and come to the Woodstock Folk Festival on Sunday. See the Fair ad in this year's program or check out the Fair's website for more information. “Come for the Fair, Stay for the Festival.”
