The Winnipeg Folk Festival<\/a> will return this summer from July 9 to July 12. The festival boasts an impressive lineup coming to Birds Hill Provincial Park, including Lucy Dacus (pictured above), Father John Misty, and more.<\/p>\n

In addition to live music, the festival will feature Hand-Made Village, which will see 50 artisans gather to sell their handcrafted works, as well as food vendors and more.<\/p>\n

Here are five must-see artists performing at Winnipeg Folk Festival 2026. Find more details, including ticket info, at the event’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lucy Dacus<\/a>
Don’t forget the tissues! Lucy Dacus took over For You pages everywhere a couple years ago with her supergroup boygenius, and her own solo work (as heard on last year’s Forever Is a Feeling) is similarly melodic and touching.<\/p>\n

Father John Misty<\/a>
Beard? Check. Humour? Check. Catchy songs filled with existential despair? Check and check.<\/p>\n

GOAT<\/a>
Enigmatic and experimental, this mysteriously masked Swedish band will bewitch fans with a show to keep listeners entranced and entertained every single step of the way.<\/p>\n

Real Estate<\/a>
This jangle pop band that makes music you drive to (that’s a compliment). Originally hailing from New Jersey, this band’s warm, hazy guitars make every day feel like cruising with the windows down and the sun on your face.<\/p>\n

Ribbon Skirt<\/a>
Exclaim! named this rock duo’s 2025 album Bite Down<\/a> the best record of the year. “When there’s a song that I really love, there’s usually one or two lines that really stick out,” Tashiini Buswa told Exclaim! of her outside-of-the-box writing process. “Every song needs that line, or those two lines.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Winnipeg Folk Festival will return this summer from July 9 to July 12.
