Itinerary:
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is staged every year in beautiful downtown Gallagher Park. It offers Edmontonians a chance to sample outstanding music from throughout Alberta, from throughout Canada and from throughout the world.

We will meet at the festival, and stay together as a group to check out the Friday evening performances. The lineup for the secondary stages have not been announced, but performers on the mainstage (starting at 9 PM) are:
- The Dan Tyminski Band (bluegrass)
- Jonny Lang (Blues)
- Hawksley Workman (Rock)


PLEASE NOTE: The EOC will not arrange ticket purchases. This event is simply intended to allow EOC members to find each other and attend the concerts together. Everyone attending this event must purchase their own tickets. Tickets for evening shows throughout the festival cost $50.00 each. 4-day passes can also be purchased for the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, valid for Thursday and Friday evenings and throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. Currently (in June) these cost $129.00 for a non-transferable pass ($149.00 for transferable tickets), but the price will increase in July and August. Edmonton Folk Music Festival tickets tend to sell out, so don't delay if you wish to join us!
