PFF's mandate is to foster the artistic and professional development of local culture. The festival brings families together to enjoy some of the best music, arts and cultural experiences in the Peterborough region. PFF is a true community event where residents and visitors come together to experience the best aspects of our community in a welcoming atmosphere.

The PFF mission includes fostering communication within the community, between generations, cultures, and groups; expanding the horizons of our audience through music and the arts; providing a safe and inclusive space for community interaction; creating partnerships within the community that offer mutual support and strength; and honouring the lands shared with Indigenous Peoples.
