Folk Music Invades Brandon

The Brandon Folk Music & Art Festival is set to get underway for its 24th summer on July 25 to 27 at the Keystone Centre Grounds. This year’s event offers the people of Brandon and beyond the opportunity to come together as a community and observe and support our many talented artists, musicians, and performers.

While smaller than the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Brandon Folk Fest offers a diverse line-up of musical talent as well as workshops, open mics, and spoken word.  

Manitoba acts hitting the stage this year include Twilight Hotel, Jacob and Lily, Venus Murphy, The Dusty Roads Band, Serena Postel, Little Black Dress, and Jeremy Proctor. The line-up also includes acts like Saskatoon's Deep Dark Woods, Vancouver's CR Avery, Toronto's David Hein, and California's That 1 Guy.

Brandon's weather forecast looks pretty sunny and warm, so for people who skipped out on some of Winnipeg's Folk Fest due to the storm insanity might consider a weekend trip.
