Having spent time at many different music festivals over the years I can tell you that we're lucky to have such a great event as the Calgary Folk Fest in our city
Every year the line-up is rich and diverse and allows patrons to experience and discover new bands while enjoying old favourites.
This isn't a "folkie" folk fest, as you can expect to hear a wide variety of genres. Though there will still be the odd dreadlock or beaded necklace.
The whole event is family friendly and I've seen everything from toddlers to grandparents here.
The schedule runs Thursday to Sunday so even if you can't go for the whole schmeer, one day is worth it.
