All the artists performing at this year’s Vancouver Folk Music Festival

Calling all folk music lovers! The season of summer music festivals is so close we can taste it, and it wouldn’t be complete without the beloved Vancouver Folk Music Festival.

Taking place at Jericho Beach Park (ʔəy̓alməxʷ), the massive beach music fest brings together some of the best international and Canadian folk artists around, from established names to emerging artists.

The three-day festival draws more than 40,000 people to the beautiful Jericho Beach every year for a weekend of dancing, eating and vibing. There are also children’s activities available, which makes the event a huge draw for families as well.
