Another Victoria music festival is just around the corner!
The Victoria Folk Festival, set to return to Royal Athletic Park on Saturday, July 4th, will bring together a line-up of Canadian artists, local food vendors, an artisan market and family-friendly activities for a day of music right in the heart of the city.
This year’s festival headliner is Chantal Kreviazuk, with The Sadies, Barney Bentall, The Deep Dark Woods, Daniel Wesley, Shari Ulrich, Valdy, The Unfaithful Servants and more also playing across two stages in the park.
Like many folk festivals, the Victoria Folk Festival will bring a relaxed bring-your-own-chair atmosphere where attendees can enjoy food trucks, a beer garden, artisan vendors, a vintage pop-up market and a dedicated kids zone.
“Our goal has always been to create a festival that feels welcoming and relaxed while delivering world-class music,” said festival director Dylan Stone.
“It’s just as much about hearing your favourite artist as it is about spending the day with friends and family, enjoying great food, and soaking up the atmosphere. Victoria Folk Music Festival is about bringing people together through music, community, and a shared love [of] music.”
This is the festival’s second year, with an expanded lineup from their inaugural event last year as it seeks to establish itself as one of Victoria’s premier summer music events.
Organizers say that guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy performances from some of Canada’s most celebrated musicians.
The festival will open its gates at 12 p.m., with performances beginning at 1 p.m. and continuing throughout the day.
Tickets are almost sold out already, so be sure to grab yours soon.
Tickets are $89 for adults, $25 for children under 12 and children five years old or younger are free. You can purchase yours here.
