Despite scorching temperatures and a few thunderstorms rumbling through, the 49th Winnipeg Folk Festival saw record-breaking crowds over the weekend.
Attendance was 76,500, which includes the highest-paid attendance in festival history with sellouts for four-day tickets and four-day-with-camping tickets, according to the festival, besting 2019’s record of 76,000.
Last year’s attendance was 74,500.

Crowd size was up at the 49th edition of the Winnipeg Folk Festival on the weekend.
The 50th edition of the Winnipeg Folk Festival will place July 10-13, 2025, at Birds Hill Park. Two festivals were missed owing to the COVID-19 pandemic; the first festival was in 1974, so the 50th edition would have been in 2023.
