Event Details

Musicians, dancers, poets and songwriters from around the world and across the street will gather July 13-15 2012 at beautiful Jericho Beach Park for Vancouver's 35th annual celebration of traditional and contemporary folk and roots music.

A major event on the world folk and roots music circuit, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival challenges audiences to expand their understanding and appreciation of what 'folk' can mean in a global context. Bringing attention to exciting young artists who are pushing the boundaries and honouring the elders of the tradition, the Festival is an acknowledged leader in creating new ways of working with artists in developing forums and vehicles for experimentation, improvisation and education.
