Winnipeg Folk Festival

Winnipeg Folk Festival We are an internationally renowned folk festival in Manitoba, Canada taking place on the second weekend of July since 1974.

It’s the moment you walk down the forested path and see Snowberry Stage. It’s dancing with your toes in the soft grass. It’s kicking back on your tarp with your hat tipped over your eyes, listening to the music while the sun warms your cheeks. It’s running into old friends and making new ones. It’s discussing the music, in-depth and openly. It’s taking the time to enjoy each other’s company and appreciate the things that are truly important in life. The Winnipeg Folk Fest is the culmination of everything great about our local folk community. For four days every July, we gather at Bird’s Hill Park to celebrate and enjoy exceptional music with our friends and family. You’re home at the Winnipeg Folk Fest. We have evolved from a one-weekend event in July to a year-round arts organization with folk music at our heart. We present dozens of concerts and events throughout the year and support our community with education and outreach programs. We are also a not-for-profit charitable organization.

Remembering Glen Hansard, who passed this week. Winnipeg Folk Festival attendees in 2010 had the incredible privilege of hearing the Irish singer‑songwriter, an Oscar and Grammy Award winner, on Main Stage as part of The Swell Season. Thinking of his family and friends during this difficult time. ❤️
