The Maryland Folk Festival is almost here, and preparations are underway. The city of Salisbury has received a special grant to help kick off the event. Salisbury was awarded a $50,000 grant from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority to support the Maryland Folk Festival. “The vision of our program is to really have Maryland’s rich and diverse heritage shared [and] valued,” said Ariane Hofstedt, administrator of the Maryland Heritage Areas Program. “We want people to be able to have deeper connections to the past, but also really enhance what’s going on in communities today — and hopefully inspire people in the future.”
