About the Wellness Village…

The Shelter Valley Folk Festival is a grassroots family event, featuring multiple stages with performers from across the continent and around the corner, an exceptional array of talented artists, fabulous hands-on programming for children of all ages, family camping, fine local and organic food, and a wellness area where festival-goers can explore new options for health, well-being, and sustainable living.
 Wellness Contributor Application Form

This year's festival runs Labour Day Weekend from Friday August 31 - September 2, 2007
   
A key element of the festival is an area we call "The Village", which hosts artists' displays and workshops, fine food service, and specific to this application the Wellness and Sustainable Community booths. As organizers we have chosen not to rent space in the village; rather, to jury all participants in order to create a unique and vibrant Festival Village for the weekend that will support the participating contributors and encourage festival-goers to learn about and share in the experience.

With this approach we hope to provide a more integrated experience, and enhance the opportunity for the community to understand the options in alternative health and wellness.
We are looking for contributors willing to interact with our audience and demonstrate their area of interest. In this way contributors become part of the Festival team presenting a unique weekend experience for the community.

The Festival offers contributors:

  • An opportunity to provide information and services for the public
  • Free access to the weekend festival and camping
  • Complimentary use of a 10 X 10 Festival tent
  • Assistance with setting up and dismantling of booths
  • Facilitation of periodic breaks during the Festival Village hours

Contributors are expected to:

  • Provide an attractive display in consultation with the Festival selection committe
  • Present their display during all operating hours of the Wellness Village
  • Interact with the festival audience in a friendly, inclusive manner
  • Maintain the vision and values of the Shelter Valley Folk Festival throughout the event
  • Assist the Festival by distributing promotional materials to personal contacts in advance of the event
