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 ap

preciate 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.

You asked, and we answered. Pizza is back in the campground! Give a warm welcome to Jojo’s Wood Fire Italian Kitchen, they bring the authentic taste of wood fired pizza and gourmet panini to the streets… and the Winnipeg Folk Festival campground! 😉

Unfortunately, our beloved long time food vendor partners Jonnies Sticky Buns is not able to join us in the campground this summer. We thank them for all their hard work and dedication to keeping our campers fuelled for the weekend and we wish them all the best. ❤️
