Islands Folk Festival is a major part of the cultural economy of the Cowichan Valley and over 3,000 people come to be part of the Festival each summer. All sponsors receive excellent exposure to an audience of community minded music lovers.
The Islands Folk Festival produces hundred of brochures, programs and posters to reach as wide an audience as possible. These are distributed all over Vancouver Island and many other areas of the Pacific Northwest. People with a love for our islands visit our web site everyday when making plans for the summer. But more importantly, the people here in the Valley do the same.
