| Festival Description | Over 250 artists perform on seven stages around the Festival site throughout the weekend. These daytime stages give the artists opportunities to jam with each other, exchanging musical styles, stories and inspirations. They also give festival-goers a rare opportunity to see performers in a very up-close and personal setting, allowing a glimpse into the musical creative process. In the evening, everyone gathers at the Main Stage to enjoy an eclectic assortment of music against the backdrop of a prairie sunset. The Winnipeg Folk Festival is music and more. In the Family Area, kids rule and imaginations are set loose. You can also enjoy the craft market, food village and much more. In 1997, the Winnipeg Folk Festival was the first event of its kind to be certified by Canada’s Environmental Choice Program with an EcoLogo as a “green event,” in recognition of our efforts to be environmentally proactive. |
