CityFolk Festival, until 2014 the Ottawa Folk Festival is a folk music festival held annually in Ottawa, Canada.
The festival is held on the Great Lawn at Lansdowne Park each September, as a 4- or 5-day general admission ticketed event. While its origins are steeped in Canadian folk music, since 2011 the festival has also spotlighted genres such as alt-country, hip-hop, roots, and blues.
Recent headliners include Van Morrison (2015), Wilco (2015), Lorde (2014), Blue Rodeo (2014), Emmylou Harris (2013) and Kendrick Lamar (2013).
In addition to musical performances, the festival features local craft beer and artisans, festival food, and an offshoot event called Marvest – free concerts featuring emerging talent, held in local businesses.
