The Scene
The Calgary Folk Music Festival, founded in 1980, is a four-day family-friendly cultural and musical extravaganza. Some 70 artists from Alberta, Canada, and the world, perform on six daytime and two evening stages in concerts and sessions. Held at Calgary's bucolic Prince’s Island Park since its inception, it’s one of Canada’s flagship festivals.
