Does your summer bucket list include outdoor live music? The
Calgary Folk Music Festivalreturns 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 at this year's festival, with Aladean Kheroufi, Billie Zizi, Cedric Lightning and Starpainter slated to perform among other local acts.
