Folk on the Rocks now has a new Executive Director.
It was announced on Friday that Teresa Horosko will be stepping into the position, taking over for Carly McFadden, who will instead be leading the Festival’s creative vision as Artistic Director.
Teresa first joined the FOTR team in 2019 as the Volunteer Manager, and has been deeply involved ever since. In 2022, she was moved up to the Operations Manager for the show. She is described as a driven and adaptable person, with a proven track record of managing the Festival, as well as other medium and large-scale community events.
In her own statement, Teresa said that she is “honoured and humbled to continue to be a part of Folk On The Rocks, now as Executive Director. In my time working in large-scale community events, I have never seen a festival with such dedicated and passionate community support. It is a privilege to be a part of the team that puts on this amazing festival, which extends past the confines of Board, Staff, and Volunteers and into the community.”
Carly McFadden stated that she has loved working as the Executive Director since 2016, but now feels that it is time for new blood to take on the role. She is confident that Teresa is the perfect person for the job, and is looking forward to diving into the more creative parts of the festival.
