Overview

About

The Vancouver Folk Music Festival takes place each summer at Jericho Beach Park, a waterfront park on the west side of Vancouver, on the territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil Waututh Nations. Founded in 1978, it presents a programme centred on folk and roots music, alongside an artisan market and community programming run largely by volunteers.
