We’re so happy to welcome as a brand new Local Hero this year!

Hey Folk Friends! It’s come to our attention that some suspicious emails have been going around claiming to be us🚫🚫 We’re so excited to see the growth of this festival but that unfortunately means more scammers… so be cautious!

Our website is the only official source and if you’re ever in doubt, please reach out. And while we’re at it beware of events and pages impersonating PFF, we are a free-admission festival so any site trying to sell you an admission ticket is fake!

With that being said, submissions are open until June 30th for our Artisan Village🎆 Learn more on our site under Submissions (and nowhere else!!)

We ❤️ our Folk Fest pups! Which is why you’ll catch us at the 2026 Doggie Dash on June 14th at Isabel Morris Park in Lakefield!

This family-friendly fundraiser combines a community dog walk with a lively afternoon in support of the animals at LAWS. Participants can choose between a 1.5 or 2.5 km walk through the village of Lakefield alongside walk leaders Betty Baker and Washboard Hank. Afterwards enjoy live music from , food vendors, games, local artisans, and small businesses.

Everyone is welcome, whether you BYOD (bring your own dog) or just join in with your walking shoes. We’ll have a table at the event so come say hi!👋

We are excited to share that TD Bank Group is supporting this year’s festival by sponsoring a brand new fourth stage: ✨The TD Stage✨

Yep, you heard that right! Located directly across from the Generation Solar Stage, this new addition will allow for a seamless flow of music, with performances and workshops alternating back and forth between the two stages.

The introduction of this new stage expands opportunities to showcase local artists, emerging voices, and Indigenous performers, while also creating room for workshops and interactive programming.

This milestone reflects the continued growth of the festival and the strength of its community partnerships. For the first time, Peterborough Folk Festival will feature multiple sponsored stages: the Miskin Law Main Stage, Rotary Stage, TD Stage and Generation Solar Stage.

Huge thanks to for helping the festival to evolve while remaining an inclusive and vibrant celebration of music, culture, and community.
