A magical weekend in the heart of Calgary

The annual Festival is a four-day family-friendly cultural and musical extravaganza. Featuring 70 artists from Alberta, Canada, and the world performing on five daytime and two evening stages in concerts and sessions — unpredictable mash-ups where artists collaborate in unique and unexpected ways, sharing songs and stories. It’s a destination event and essential community gathering for 53,000 Calgarians and tourists, run by 2,000 community volunteers.

It was a reminder of what keeps bringing Calgarians back to the folk fest for 40 years: swaying, stomping, unexpected new voices and old favourites all in one place.

Artist in residence: Geneva L. Haley

Calgary Folk Music Festival's 2022-2023 artwork was created by our artist-in-residence, central Alberta illustrator and designer Geneva L. Haley. With her whimsical storytelling through illustration, Haley created a portal to an enchanting and dreamlike world on Prince's Island Park — perfectly matching the Festival's charming and adventurous spirit. See the full artwork at our lineup reveal.
