More than 70 bands and artists will be hitting the various stages this year, many from the festival’s home province of Alberta.
New to this year’s festivities will be a free stage located outside the festival grounds, so those not attending the festival itself can still take in the live music and atmosphere.
The free stage will follow the same format as the daytime stages, the festival said, with performances on Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The 2019 Calgary Folk Music Festival happens from July 25 to 28 at Prince’s Island Park. Tickets go on sale on April 11 at noon.
