A reprint of the article "A Survey of Folk Festivals," by Sandi Hackler, which appeared in the 1983 issue of the "Solstice News" is presented. It outlines the results of a survey on 26 folk festivals and fiddle competitions in Canada, including Folk on the Rocks, Summerfolk and Regina Folk Festival. The survey found several instances where equal payment to musicians does not apply, like when someone wants to donate service or there are special grants for special groups.
