Every year Calgary Folk Music Festival wows and woos thousands of Calgarians with its food, fashion and yes, music. But this year’s festival was special because this year, the festival marked it’s 35th anniversary! Â An impressive feat, especially considering the festival was almost washed away last year! Â But here, we are, the 35th annual Calgary Folk Music Festival and what a festival it was! Â To mark the celebration, I pulled together a list of 35 of my favourite things at this year’s festival.
So here we go!
