The Mill Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music is held in the downtown core of the former City of Galt, now part of Cambridge, Ontario.

Galt was a 19th C. Scottish settlement, which is reflected in the legacy of stone buildings in the community.
 

The Mill Race Folk Society hosts English music sessions (every other Sunday), open singarounds (third Saturday of the month), Singing Sessions (first Sunday), many concerts, and dances throughout the year.  Learn more at our Events page. Some of the upcoming Special Events include:

• Mill Race Fundraiser (Friday, June 7, 2013)
• Cafe 13 with Mary Humphreys and Anahata (Thursday, August 8, 2013)

The main event staged by the Society is the annual Mill Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music (August 2 - 4, 2013), which is a free admission event that has been held since 1993.

The festival's focus is on traditional forms of folk music and dance from a variety of cultures. Because it was inspired by similar events held in the United Kingdom, a significant part of the content is British and Irish music. However, an equally significant number of acts represent a variety of world cultures and the multinational character that is Canada today.
