That's right, WIN A TRIP for two to see TAYLOR SWIFT IN LONDON, ENGLAND this AUGUST ERAS TOUR 2024. (Air travel, accommodation, ground transportation and event tickets included). And the best part?

Our beautiful event space in the heart of historic Inglewood is available to be rented for Calgary’s cultural community and for corporate and private functions.
It’s been 45 years of music, magic and memories. What began in 1980 as a modest two-day affair on three stages has grown into the Calgary Folk Music Festival’s current incarnation — a four-day extravaganza that highlights brilliant upstart and iconic artists from around the corner and the globe in concerts and our unique collaborative sessions on eight stages, plus Block Heater and other year-round programming.
With summer just around the bend, it’s time to confirm volunteer intentions for the big fest.
