Peterborough Folk Festival’s main event is a three-day festival on the third weekend of August each year, with a gala theatre ticketed concert on the Friday evening followed by a two-day outdoor festival at the historic Nicholls Oval Park on the east banks of the Otonabee River.

The Saturday and Sunday festival events are designed to be inclusive to all ages, with four stages of live music, an Artisan Village, a licensed beverage area and what we think is the best Children’s Village of any festival! Admission is free, with donations encouraged and appreciated to help this community event to continue.
