Calgary Folk Music Festival

Revel in one of the ‘7 musical wonders of the world’ (Globe and Mail) at the Calgary Folk Music Festival at Prince’s Island Park, an annual sound salvation that programs 76 icons and upstarts from 16 countries on 8 stages in concerts and magical collaborative sessions.

It’s a genre-defying, continent-linking festival where fiercely independent, creative troubadours and master instrumentalists from Mauritania, Korea, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Ethiopia, the United States and Canada celebrate diverse traditions, deep roots and cool grooves.

Our special aboriginal program Great Spirits unites artists from Australia, the United States and Canada.

Festival Alumni: Rufus Wainwright, A Tribe Called Red, Lucinda Williams, Father John Misty, The Jayhawks, Andrew Bird, Bruce Cockburn.
