Tradition Grows On
A decade of evolution, connection, and honouring the past
By the 2010s, the Winnipeg Folk Festival was grown up. A well-oiled and soulful celebration, it stood thriving, confident, and in full bloom. It welcomed newcomers and lifers alike, ready for the next generation to step into something timeless. Longtime Festivalgoers felt a mix of nostalgia and pride. Whether you were a tarp-sitter planted all day or a wanderer drifting from stage to stage, the music found you wherever you were.
Smartphones glowed across the field like modern fireflies. Social media and constant documentation had changed how people experienced live music—not by dulling the moment, but by reshaping it. Many used them to carry the Festival’s magic beyond the trees, recording a song for a friend who couldn’t make it, livestreaming a campfire jam, or capturing a confetti-spotted sky at the final performance. As always, Folk Fest adapted. Mobile charging stations popped up, allowing people to stay connected without missing a moment.
The decade brought unforgettable performances. You might have sprinted barefoot across the field when the first notes of a headliner rang out—Sheryl Crow, Kacey Musgraves or Brandi Carlile—arriving breathless as people in the crowd hugged and danced. Or maybe you heard an artist for the very first time and talked about it for the rest of the year, like sitting steps away from Phoebe Bridgers on a Sunday afternoon at Shady Grove.
After the sun went down and the campfires came alive, it often took just one person strumming a guitar before twenty more joined in, harmonizing under the stars. Campsite animation became expected from the few. Games and structures were built for campers to peruse and gather. At Folk Fest, maybe you fell in love, maybe you made a friend, or maybe you never even learned the names of the people you sang with—but together, you created something unforgettable.
Sustainability wasn’t a side note—it was the core. Plastic water bottles disappeared, and more refill taps popped up across the grounds. Volunteers stood beside compost and recycling bins, helping keep the fields and forests clean. Everyone worked together in cooperation, kindness, and care. And the Festival site looked as beautiful as ever.
The Festival had changed—in look, sound, and scope, with two new stages going up in the forest. But every shift felt like a love letter to what came before. It wasn’t just progress—it was preservation. And it wasn’t just about aesthetics, but about writing a new chapter. One where the Festival invested in its future and built something strong enough to carry the spirit forward.
