Welcome to this members-only site where you can manage your FolkWorld Inc. membership, communicate, engage with events, and interact with our management committees.

The goal is to operate FolkWorld Inc. as a genuine membership organisation where power and authority lies with its members. The FolkWorld Inc. management committee provides leadership and works with an executive mandate, but members have the right to question, suggest, and vote on actions.

This degree of involvement though comes at a price, albeit a minimal one, in the form of an annual membership fee, which is essential for delivering services. There are no salaried staff; however, we have invested in this online platform to assist voluntary committee officers in fulfilling their legal obligations with member support.

We currently seek your assistance and support in spreading the word about joining FolkWorld Inc. as an existing member you can take up the paid membership by going to the Log In button (Top Right), enter the email address you used previously then choose password reset to gain access, you can then purchase your annual membership and update your contact details.  You can also help by passing on the sign-up link to former Fairbridge Festival attendees of anyone else you think would like to have as say in the future of the festival and other FolkWorld Inc. activities. You will receive reminders when your annual calendar membership is due.

If you have any problems please contact us 

Thank you. 🙏 😊
