Tickets are offered at Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 ticket prices. Be sure to act fast and save! See our ticket pricing for details.

Camping should be purchased at the same time as your 4-Day Ticket. If you purchased a 4-Day ticket without camping but don’t want to miss out on the campground magic you can request camping by emailing info@winnipegfolkfestival.ca and your request for an upgrade will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please note, the Tier pricing of your original purchase is not guaranteed. Approved camping ticket will be adjusted to the Tier prices available at the time of the change. 

Four tickets per person and one RV/trailer permit, if you need one.

Ticketing in this way will allow us to better manage Festival revenues and audience sizes to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time.  

We want to ensure that everyone who comes to our campgrounds with an RV/trailer has a place to park it. The permit ticket is valid only with a Festival or Quiet Campground ticket and only one RV/trailer permit ticket is required per RV/trailer (not per person). RV/trailer permit tickets are exchanged upon arrival for an RV/trailer permit.

The Winnipeg Folk Festival typically receives less than 10% of revenues from government funding. This means over 90% of the revenues needed each year come from earned revenue – ticket sales and sponsorship support.

It takes significantly more infrastructure and resources to create the Festival Campground. The price of the Festival Campground reflects the additional services and infrastructure we’ve invested in to improve and increase lighting, electricity and first aid. The Festival Campground also requires more security to ensure the safety and well-being of its community. 

No. Day tickets are valid only for the day you specify at time of purchase and they cannot be exchanged for a different day.

Yes! Children 12 and under are free.

Yes, to those 65 years of age or greater. View prices for Youth/Senior tickets on our Tickets page.

Sorry, there are no refunds or exchanges.

Yes! We do not check IDs when exchanging tickets for wristbands meaning whoever presents the ticket at the box office will receive the wristband regardless of the name on the account. Once the ticket has been scanned in exchange for a wristband, the ticket is void, the wristband is placed on the presenting patron's wrist and cannot be transferred to another person.

All ticket sales are final except in the situation of a full event cancellation by the Winnipeg Folk Festival.

Subject to the provisions below for an event cancellation, there are no exchanges or refunds once the tickets have been purchased. No exchange or refund will be issued if a Festival performer is changed or if their performance is cancelled, rescheduled or delayed.

In the event of a full event cancellation, the Winnipeg Folk Festival will offer refunds and will inform ticket buyers through its official website about procedures for obtaining a refund.

If you didn’t receive your tickets, please contact Front Gate Tickets Customer Service at Front Gate Tickets Help Desk.

If you have lost your tickets, please contact Front Gate Tickets Customer Service at Front Gate Tickets Help Desk.

Children 12 and under get in for free and don’t need a camping ticket. Youth 13-17 need a youth camping ticket. Please keep in mind that anyone under 18 needs to camp with an adult.

Quiet Campground tickets and Festival Campground tickets are combined with the 4-day ticket into one single ticket – if you want to camp, you need to purchase a 4-day ticket that includes camping.

Wristbands must be worn at all times and shown for entry into Folk Fest campgrounds and the Festival site. Wristbands are non-transferable and non-exchangeable. If your wristband is removed or tampered with, it cannot be replaced, and you will not be allowed entry.

If wristband removal is required for work purposes or if it’s too tight, please visit the Problem Solving line at the Main Gate Box Office.
