Overview
About
The Winnipeg Folk Festival takes place each summer at Birds Hill Provincial Park, north of Winnipeg, where attendees can camp on site. Founded in the 1970s, it presents traditional and contemporary folk music across several stages spread through the park, alongside a Hand Made Village and a family area. Run largely by volunteers, the organization also holds city concerts year round.
