Little Folkies partners with play spaces, kids' stores, family clubs, bookstores, community centers, farms, children's organizations, museums, festivals, schools, and other family-focused venues to bring joyful live music experiences to local families.

Social media posts and stories
Website and event calendar listings
In-venue signage
Flyers and posters
Parent, customer, or member communications
Local parent and community groups
Little Folkies provides promotional graphics, event descriptions, flyers, and registration links to make sharing easy.
The stronger we promote together, the more successful the event can be.
Final ticket pricing, capacity, sales deadlines, minimum guarantees, revenue share, and event details are confirmed as part of the booking agreement.

Little Folkies live events are created for children ages 0–7 and their grown-ups.
Families are invited to sing, move, dance, listen, play, and make music together in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT LITTLE FOLKIES VENUE?
We're looking for spaces that are:
Safe and toddler-friendly
Welcoming to babies, young children, and caregivers
Appropriate for live acoustic music
Large enough for at least 8 children plus caregivers
Accessible to families
Easy to find and get to
Available at a consistent weekly day and time
Supported by a venue excited to help build the program
We'll ask you to share photos and a 360° video of the proposed class space so we can understand the layout and determine appropriate class capacity.
what families experience
Little Folkies Pop-Up Music Circles and Family Concerts bring families together through live acoustic folk music, singing, dancing, movement, storytelling, instruments, and playful audience participation.
Children and grown-ups are invited to sing along, move, dance, listen, play, and become part of the music. From familiar folk songs to original Little Folkies favorites, each event is designed to feel relaxed, joyful, and interactive.
There’s no need to sit still or stay quiet—babies can wiggle, toddlers can dance, kids can sing, and grown-ups can join right in.
It’s a live music experience created for families to connect, participate, and make music together.
