The spirit of summer is calling. From July 17 to 19, the iconic ʔəy̓alməxʷ Jericho Beach Park transforms once again into a sanctuary of rhythm and community for the 49th Vancouver Folk Music Festival.
Leading the charge this year are the likes of Hazlett, the legendary Billy Bragg, and the ethereal Valerie June.
The Lineup: A Global Sonic Tapestry
Artistic Director Fiona Black has curated a bill that mirrors the eclectic energy of a great playlist. Beyond the headliners, the stages will be buzzing with:
- Ruby Waters & Aysanabee
- Tami Neilson & Amistat
- The psychedelic tropical vibes of Empanadas Ilegales
- The boundary-pushing Ruby Singh and the Future Ancestors
- Plus gems like Bia Ferreira, El Balcón, and Anna Tivel.
More Than Just Music

- The Food Village: A world of flavors to fuel your dancing.
- Community Spirit: Immersive storytelling, dance workshops, and those “only at Folk Fest” collaborative stage mashups.
