With seven daytime stages running today, music fans attending the Winnipeg Folk Festival will have some tough decisions deciding what to see — but what a great dilemma.

To help you narrow those choices down, here’s some options of workshops we’ll be seeing. Of course, these are just the tip of the iceberg. With so much great music happening all over the site, wandering from stage to stage and discovering new music is part of the festival’s appeal.

Have fun.
