Coldsnap 2023’s main stage schedule has been finalized and will return to a fully in-person format.
“We are really excited to have a variety of musicians coming to town, and that we can share that with everybody,” said Katherine Benny, the Prince George Folkfest Society’s Communications Manager and Assistant Executive Director.
This year is the 20th anniversary of the Prince George Folkfest Society.
They will be closing the festival on February 4th with a Folkfest birthday party, featuring two shows at the Civic Centre.
“We are really excited to celebrate with everybody,” Benny said.
“It would be a dream of ours to go back to pre-pandemic audiences,” she said, remembering the winter 2020 festival.
“We aren’t going to immediately see the return to our old numbers, but we are hoping to see that folks are really missing that live music experience.”
