Woodstock Folk Festival is pleased to present the best in local music on Sunday, April 20, 2008, from 1 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., as we celebrate Earth Day with a Spring Fundraiser Performance at the Stage Left Café in Woodstock, Illinois.

Admission to this special event is a suggested donation of $5.00--more if you can, less if you can't. All proceeds raised through this special performance will be used to fund the 23rd Annual Woodstock Folk Festival which takes place on Sunday, July 20, 2008 on the Woodstock Square. Mark your calendars!
