The story

Regina Folk Festival in Regina

Regina Folk Festival turns Victoria Park in downtown Regina into a multi-stage roots and singer-songwriter gathering each August, mixing established touring acts with emerging Canadian artists across collaborative workshop sets. Running since the late 1960s, it is one of the older folk festivals in Western Canada, built around a compact, walkable downtown park rather than a rural festival site.

Victoria Park in downtown Regina fills with multiple stages each August when the Regina Folk Festival brings together touring Canadian roots musicians, singer-songwriters and international guests for a weekend built around live performance and shared stages.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's signature format is the collaborative workshop, a folk-festival tradition in which several artists share a single stage and trade songs, styles and occasionally instruments in real time rather than performing separate solo sets, giving audiences combinations of musicians they would rarely see paired anywhere else

02

The mystery stays covered

Its downtown Victoria Park setting keeps the entire festival within easy walking distance of Regina's core, distinguishing it from folk festivals that require driving to a rural or riverside site

03

The city starts moving

Decades of continuous programming have made it a reliable summer stop for touring Canadian roots and singer-songwriter acts moving between prairie cities
