Vancouver Folk Fest Closes After 45 Years

It is with extreme sadness that we acknowledge the cancellation of the Vancouver Folk Festival, a cornerstone of Vancouver’s cultural and artistic scene.

This further reinforces our commitment to provide support and convene dialogue with arts and cultural organizations that are experiencing operational and funding challenges post-pandemic.

The Folk Festival has been a treasure of a cultural event in British Columbia and we have been meeting with colleagues throughout the cultural sector to address this issue and similar issues that are being faced in the province at the moment.

Our hearts go out to our colleagues who have tirelessly been trying to find the solution to keep the festival running.
