Thank you to our dedicated Volunteers
The heart and soul of the Winter Music Festival organization is the dedicated crew of volunteers who make everything we do possible. All year long, the Winter Music Festival engages more than 55 volunteers throughout the community and greater area to assist as volunteers. These committed individuals perform a variety of helpful tasks and our organization would not be what it is today without this strong base of volunteer support.
We appreciate every single one of you, especially those of you who come back year after year, bringing your experience and enthusiasm to the WMF. You are all an integral part of the event and we could not do it without you!

An important focus of the Winter Music Festival is the annual Kids Concerts. This year marks 21 years of entertainment and educational outreach by the WMF to the children in our community. The lead-in to the WMF is focused solely on those kids. We are thrilled that this year Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and storyteller Josh Goforth, whose own musical journey sprang from a concert he attended in middle school, will be sharing his love of music with kids from Florence, Mapleton, and Reedsport schools at the Kids Concerts on Thursday.
