About

Edmonton Folk Music Festival coolest place to be in August

Vibrant ... dramatic ... colourful ... and friendly. When describing the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, musicians and patrons are unanimous. This year’s edition promises to be all that and more for the Edmontonians, visitors and volunteers who will claim their patch of grass on the hill at Gallagher Park to listen and move to the beat of more than 60 music-makers from the four corners of the globe.

Set in the lush river valley with the city skyline as its backdrop, the festival is an annual gathering that has come to epitomize Edmonton as a "festival city." This is a family event whether you come to listen to music, reconnect with old friends, or join the army of 2,200 volunteers who keep the festival running as the world class event it has become since it was started in 1980.

    I love Edmonton Folk Fest!

    by Lester123 on 8/17/18Gallagher Park - Edmonton

    Folk Fest is a great outdoor festival that I attend each year, it is a safe and friendly event, I even left my wallet sitting out by accident and it was there when I returned! The issue that came up this year was it rained for 2 days and there were not enough sheltered areas, I would suggest adding more. And also doubling the amount of porta potties in the beer gardens and the rest of the festival areas, the line ups were about 20 minutes on average to be able to use them and that was not a good use of time when we want to enjoy the great music!

    Experience this year was a bummer.

    by Melody73 on 8/20/15Gallagher Park - Edmonton

    I was looking forward to seeing Sinead O'Connor, I bought the weekend pass only because the day she was performing was sold out. Then she cancelled. I didn't go until the last day I thought I would make the $190. I spent worthwhile. While attending the folk music festival I was approached by the festival police that my lawnchair was illegal because it was too big. So i folded up my chair, walked up the hill to my vehicle parked far aways beacause there was no parking!!! I felt very heavy hearted about my experience as this was the first time I had been to the folk festival since I was a child(30 years). This will also be the last time I consider ever going again.

    LOVE Folk Fest!

    by staceylenore on 8/13/15Gallagher Park - Edmonton

    I was sad and disappointed that Sinead O'Connor but we still enjoyed ourselves completely. The small stage stuff is always our favourite part of folk fest but Bear's Den managed to rock the main stage!
