The Heidi Folk Festival organization aims to recognize and assist students in the New Glarus community who aspire to pursue higher education by granting educational scholarships. These scholarships are funded through private donations, with the annual Heidi Play performance serving as the primary fundraiser each June. This performance not only upholds the Swiss heritage of New Glarus' original settlers from Glarus, Switzerland but also embodies the enduring spirit of community support and cultural celebration.
