Alongside the music, the festival offers workshops, community jam sessions, and songwriter rounds where musicians can share their creative processes and stories behind their songs. These sessions provide a unique opportunity for both fans and musicians to gain insight into the craft and connect with the Toronto music community. Winterfolk also actively supports Toronto’s local music scene, with many independent and local artists on the lineup, showcasing Toronto’s vibrant artistic spirit.
