Regina Folk Festival

Regina Folk Festival Inc. (RFF) is a non-profit that throws some wonderful events throughout the year. First and foremost, there is the Festival itself! Held annually in Victoria Park on the weekend following the long weekend in August, the Festival is a much anticipated and immense celebration of music and community.

Offerings

Offerings is our online programming including micro-concert performances, panel discussions and interviews with artists and community. This programming offers insight into the work of Regina Folk Festival artists year-round and are generally freely accessible to the public.

 

Concert Series

Aside from this much-loved star of the organization, the RFF also runs the Regina Folk Festival Concert Series from September to June each year. With well-known acts alongside ones you may not know yet, rest assured the curation of this series is sublime.

Footnotes

Footnotes is an important component of the Regina Folk Festival each summer, offering entry points into festival programming. Footnotes celebrates artistic expression and the meaningful connections made through music with generally free and open to the public events and resources.

 

Winterruption

In the coldest months of the year, the RFF also presents Winterruption, a four-day long winter festival to shake off the ice and bring some heat.

Outreach Program

Running concurrently with the Concert Series is the Outreach Program. Several times each year, the RFF will bring artists from the Concert Series into rural elementary schools to do workshops with students and small concerts. It’s a lovely, interactive experience for those who often don’t have very comprehensive arts programming!
