CityFolk

This four-day September celebration of music, dance and community at Lansdowne Park and throughout the Glebe area features an eclectic mix of musical performances on multiple stages.

Every year, Ottawa's CityFolk festival offers more than 30 shows on indoor and outdoor stages. These range far beyond folk to encompass rock, alternative, bluegrass, hip hop, country and other musical genres—past acts have included everyone from Van Morrison and David Byrne to Lorde, Vampire Weekend, Robert Plant and Bon Iver.

On site, you can also discover new brews at the craft beer fair, shop for unique local products made by artisan and craft vendors, and even bring the kids for special children's activities and family performances.
