Come enjoy the 35th annual Peterborough Folk Festival on August 15-18, 2024!
Canada’s longest running free-admission folk festival is now in its 35th year! More than 15,000 people come together to enjoy our region’s second largest cultural event.
Mark your calendars for August 15-18, 2024 for four days of music, culture and community as we come together on the hillside at Nicholls Oval Park next to the mighty Otonabee River.
As a volunteer-run registered charity, your community leadership and support is vital to the success of promoting and preserving this cultural gem that’s inclusive, welcoming and accessible to everyone. In 2024, Peterborough Folk Festival will welcome over 30 artists and bands, including 12 local performers. The lineup once again features full gender parity and strong diversity, including Indigenous artists, artists of colour and artists from the LGBTQ+ communities.
Thank you for making Peterborough Folk Festival’s 35th Anniversary a success!
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated volunteers who generously contributed their time and talents to ensure the festival's success, even in the face of a rainy weekend forecast. The PFF Board of Directors truly appreciates the unwavering support from our community, which makes this our favorite weekend of the year. Thank you for standing with us and celebrating the spirit of folk music (broadly defined!) together.
