EVENTS

The Winnipeg Folk Festival brings music to the community all year round with a wide variety of concerts and events!

Join us at The Folk Exchange, our very own gallery-style venue in the heart of Winnipeg’s Exchange District. It’s here that we host an eclectic array of events including open mic nights, songwriters’ circles, music training workshops, and our Live @ The Folk Exchange series.

Our Folk For Families and Winnipeg Folk Festival In The City workshop series at the Millennium Library are great fun, and free! These concerts feature kid-friendly performances and local musicians in creative, festival-style workshops. Bring the little folks out for an afternoon of singing and dancing!

Check out our  Concert Series shows! Be sure to sign up for our e-newsletter to receive announcements and special pre-sale offers.
