One of the most beloved and enjoyed events in Vancouver is its Folk Music Festival. The festival draws over 30,000 visitors to the city's beautiful Jericho Beach Park. Families and friends gladly join the gathering to share all the special activities the festival offers: dance, food, music, and more.
