Canmore Folk Music Festival
Festival Friday Free Concert
Join us on Friday, August 3 to start off the weekend festivities at our free Festival Friday event. Taking place downtown Canmore in front of the Civic Centre (902 7 Ave) we get things started from 6-8 p.m. with the live CKUA broadcast of The Celtic Show with Andy Donnelly. Then from 8-9 p.m. join host Tom Coxworth as The Mammals take over the stage for a one-hour street party. Everything’s free and it’s a great way to get a sneak peek of one of the bands at this year’s festival.
Pancake Breakfast
Join us for a FREE pancake breakfast & Live Music! Monday, August 6th from 8-10:30 AM
7th Ave, between Main Street and 7th Street. (Right beside Miner's Union Hall).
Cash donations accepted for the Canmore Folk Festival Scholarship fund & The Bow Valley Food Bank. Donations split equally.
