At Summerfolk, you can 'feel the rhythm' of a festival that has been presenting the very best in folk music for three and a half decades. A beautiful site and friendly people create an energy that will envelop you at this, one of Canada's favourite folk festivals.

With a performer lineup that spans a spectrum of styles and genres, you will find a musical smorgasboard to savour. Evening concerts in the amphitheater are magical and the extensive daytime workshop
programming will inspire.

Certainly the heart and soul of the Festival is the music, but there are many aspects of Summerfolk to be enjoyed by folks of all ages. A rhythm flows through it - you can feel it!

Singing in the Rain

Despite the weather which has to be the big story of the weekend, this year’s Summerfolk was full of special moments and great performances which will long be remembered in the hearts and minds of those who witnessed them.

The weatherman was way off on his predictions. Mother Nature ‘toyed’ with us, offering breaks between the showers on Saturday and Sunday. Still, the show went on with an amazing spirit. We reveled in the music, sang in the rain and looked after each other.

One of my favourite quotes of the weekend came from a young volunteer in his first year at the Festival, who summed it up by saying “It’s the best way I’ve seen so far to make a rainy day fun”.
