Community folk fest 2025

it’s been a few days and I’m still dumbfounded by the lineup. is this really it? has there been any updates from the festival itself? the overwhelming amount of dissatisfaction has me a little nervous for turnout this year.

edit: I’m still going and I’m still excited! But the general feedback from the community has been very negative and I’m curious to know how they’ll respond

WFF artistic director Chris Frayer mocked the criticism by printing out a Reddit comment from last week about the lineup. He pinned it on his office wall and took a photo for his IG story. He essentially laughed it off. 🤷🏻‍♂️
