The Mill Race Folk Society is a non-profit, registered charity and its purpose is to host folk music events in the area of Cambridge, Ontario Canada.

The main event staged by the Society is the annual Mill Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music (July 31 - August 2, 2009), which is a free admission event that has been held since 1993.

The festivals' focus is on traditional forms of folk music and dance from a variety of cultures. Because it was inspired by similar events held in the United Kingdom, a significant part of the content is British and Irish music. However, an equally significant number of acts represent a variety of world cultures and the multinational character that is Canada today.

Throughout the year, many concerts, dance and participatory music sessions are held.  Please visit the Contact page for a information on becoming a member, a volunteer, or other associate of the Mill Race Folk Society. 

Cambridge was a 19th C. Scottish settlement, which is reflected
in the legacy of stone buildings in the community.

The Mill Race Folk Society is part of the Grand River Folk Community .
