For the Kids

Kids rock at the Canmore Folk Music Festival! From the free kids’ concert at the Canmore Seniors Centre (1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday July 30 – with Ken Whiteley) to the Family Area activities on the festival site itself, we welcome the wee ones – and not so wee ones – with open arms.

In our Family Area you’ll find clowns and jugglers, a bouncy castle, climbing wall, crafts, storytellers and much, much more. Please check back to this page in the coming weeks for a full list of performers and activities, or add us to your facebook pages, follow us on twitter, and sign-up for our newsletter for exclusive updates, and information - and be the first to know!

The on-site Family Area is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday and Monday (July 31 and Aug. 1).

Additionally, kids can enjoy the two playgrounds on the festival site at all times. A tot lot for the toddlers is located adjacent to the family area, while a multi-faceted playground for the older kids is located on the opposite corner of the park, at the corner of Seventh Street and Fifth Avenue. Neither playground is supervised by Festival staff or volunteers, however.
