TORONTO – THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2011 – The Winterfolk Blues & Roots Festival is thrilled to announce Toronto’s DELTA CHELSEA HOTEL as the new venue for the upcoming TENTH ANNUAL WINTERFOLK FESTIVAL which will take place from February 17-19 in 2012. Some of the finest folk, roots, world and blues artists will perform at the Delta Chelsea’s Monarchs Pub, Market Garden Stage and various other stages all within the hotel. For more information and updates please visit www.winterfolk.com

Toronto’s Winterfolk X festival will present a fun, jam-packed, free, all-ages, mid-winter, weatherproof urban blues and roots festival. The new venue will present all kinds of fresh opportunities and the hotel’s management and staff are thoroughly supportive and excited about the recent collaboration. The hotel’s involvement in Toronto’s music scene is ever-growing and they have regular music events scheduled every night of the week in Monarchs Pub, so many in the music community are already familiar with the great vibe happening there.

Stay tuned for more updates in the upcoming weeks when the festival will announce the artists, the stages and the workshops for this special tenth anniversary event!
