About
About Our Business
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.
The inaugural festival was held in 1974 in Birds Hill Provincial Park on Treaty 1 territory and homeland of the Métis people, as a one-time celebration to mark Winnipeg’s 100th anniversary. While our organization has grown considerably since then, the gathering created a community and laid down important roots in Birds Hill Provincial Park that remain strong today.
The summer festival’s cumulative attendance now exceeds 70,000 annually and includes visitors and performers from across North America and around the world. There are nearly 2,900 dedicated volunteers who contribute well over 60,000 hours each year to create the magic that is the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
We've 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.
