Set against the skyline of the Canadian Rockies, the Canmore Folk Music Festival returns August 1–3, 2026. As Alberta’s longest-running folk festival, this year’s event serves as the grand prelude to the festival’s upcoming 50th-anniversary,
promising an immersive weekend of world-class music, mountain culture, and unscripted magic.

The 49th edition maintains the festival’s fierce commitment to Canadian talent while weaving in international sounds that push the boundaries of the “folk” genre:
● Mainstage Performances: Sarah Harmer, William Prince, Wild Rivers, The Felice Brothers, Begonia, and Steve Poltz.
● Global Roots & Discovery: Ahmed Moneka (Iraq/Toronto), Caamaño and Ameixeiras (Spain), and Miko Marks (USA).
● Local Legends & The Cohort: Celebrating Bow Valley brilliance with The Three Sisters, Twonees, Cave Arcade, Sandy LeCour, Nurdjana, and Side Hustle.

Grab your tarp, find your spot, and soak in the sounds of Alberta’s longest-running music festival.
