Vancouver Folk Music Festival unveils summer 2022 lineup

Vancouver Folk Music Festival (VFMF), one of the city’s most popular summer events, is returning to Jericho Beach Park this July for a three-day extravaganza.

The lineup for the 45th annual VFMF, taking place July 15 to 17, features an extensive lineup of local, national, and international stars.

This year’s performers include Mexican-American musician and activist Alejandro Escovedo, three-time Grammy nominee Allison Russell, two-time International Bluegrass Music Association’s Guitar Player of the Year Molly Tuttle, and local indie-rock heroes The New Pornographers.

“I am so happy to have so many great Canadian and International artists coming this year,” said Artistic and Executive Director Debbi Salmonsen in a release. “As well as legends like Taj Mahal, and many great Canadian and US musicians, we have artists joining us from Chile, Finland, India, Korea, Mexico, and Taiwan.

“This year, our ‘folk music’ definition has really spread its wings into many roots genres. We can’t wait to see our Folk Fest fans, vendors and volunteers in person again this year. We are working hard to ensure a safe and joyful experience for everyone. I also want to express our gratitude to the Musqueam Nation for allowing us to hold our event on their unceded traditional land.”

The VFMF will feature three daytime stages as well as an evening main stage. The festival will also have a Little Folks area, an artisan market, food vendors, and an adult beverage garden, so there are lots to see and do.
