Does your summer bucket list include outdoor live music? The Calgary Folk Music Festival returns to Prince's Island Park from July 24 to 27, and CBC is a proud sponsor.

Gather your friends, family and festival chairs for a music-packed weekend. The lineup of over 70 artists includes headliners like Los Lobos, Patrick Wilson, CAKE, Sierra Ferrell, BADBADNOTGOOD, Michael Kiwanuka and many more.

Alongside internationally-acclaimed icons, festival-goers will discover new sounds — many of them homegrown. Albertan artists make a strong showing on this year's billing, with Aladean Kheroufi, Billie Zizi, Cedric Lightning and Starpainter slated to perform among other local acts.

Start prepping for Folk Fest! This episode of Key of A with Tarik Robinson features a set from Albertan artists playing the 2025 festival. Tune in from 14:18 - 23:57 to hear Tim Williams, Jolie Laide and Billie Zizi.
