MESSAGE FROM GOODY
Hello Friends of Florida Folk members, friends & longtime supporters.
As of this year, 2026, it has become necessary for our FoFF Officers to look at how best
to serve our community and maintain the future of Friends of Florida Folk.
Starting at White Springs in 1982, FOFF has built a legacy of helping musicians to be heard and noticed in the sunshine state.
We will continue to support/sponsor/showcase musicians and the folk arts in Florida,
but, will be transitioning the beloved merchandise booth over to respective festival organizers to continue on.
The Will McLean Foundation has successfully navigated their first co-coordinated booth effort with FoFF at the most recent Will McLean Festival in March 2026.
The Stephen Foster CSO (Citizens Support Organization) will be taking over the Merchandise Tent at the upcoming Florida Folk Festival. Your FOFF officers & board members will be working with the CSO team at the festival for this transition.
FoFF will still be on hand to volunteer at the booths at these festivals, and we invite
our wonderful group of volunteers to continue sharing their time and energies at
these great events.
WE ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT Friends of Florida Folk with your MEMBERSHIP and in volunteer opportunities as they arise in our musical community!
Many thank to so many folks that have supported our mission as we continue to carry it forward!
Your Officers and Board - Friends of Florida Folk
Thank you to our SPONSORS & SUPPORTERS
of the Sunshine Music Camp & Instructors Concert!

A TREMENDOUS SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU FROM FOFF!
The SUNSHINE MUSIC CAMP was a blast! Connections and friendships were made,
folks learned new things musically, and we enjoyed the wonderful SUNSHINE CONCERT in the evening!
Thank you to our co-sponsor - Manatee UU Fellowship - home of the
Building Bridges Coffeehouse Concert Series in Bradenton!
Our instructors did a phenomenal job of sharing their talents, kind hearts and smiles with each of us.
FoFF is so grateful to our FOLKIE community. Visit our page on Facebook to see photos and more!
