The smiles say it all . . .

Thank you Vancouver!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the 41st Annual Vancouver Folk Music Festival. Your support of this festival and the artists was incredible. Thanks to the musicians, singers, tellers of stories, dancers, and creative minds. You entertained us, moved us, inspired us, made us smile. Thank you. To the volunteers who literally make the weekend work - you are the very best! Thank you to our generous donors, and our supportive sponsors, partners and suppliers. And to the Vancouver Parks Board, as always, thank you for lending us our beautiful Jericho Beach Park home again this year.

“The list of artists whose careers broke out after appearing on one of the workshop stages at Jericho Beach is too long to print. This year will just add more names to the list.” – Stuart Derdeyn, Vancouver Sun

Thank you, Vancouver!

For the 22nd annual Georgia Straight "Best of Vancouver 2017" you voted us "Best Local Music Festival" for the 6th year in a row. We are supported by an amazing community of folks without whom the festival would not be able to happen. To everyone who participated, volunteered, performed, attended – and voted – for the VFMF, you are "The Best."

Vancouver Folk Music Festival is the BEST FESTIVAL in the City!

In a “who’s the best” poll seeking the Stars of Vancouver, the VFMF is truly honoured to again receive this very special #1 award.

Thank you to everyone who made this happen!
