Peterborough Folk Festival, Folk music festival in Peterborough, Ontario.

Peterborough Folk Festival is a multi-day music event held at Nicholls Oval Park with multiple performance stages. The program brings together artists from the local area and beyond, creating space for different musical genres and performances.

The festival began in 1989 as a local music event and gradually expanded into a larger gathering. Over time it became established as Canada's longest-running free folk festival.

The festival shapes its lineup to represent diverse artists and communities across its stages. Visitors experience programming that intentionally includes varied perspectives and voices throughout the weekend.

The festival takes place over a weekend and offers free access to all visitors. The grounds on Armour Road are easily accessible with different areas set up for various activities.

The festival uses a jury selection process to choose artists and craftspeople while dedicating spaces to children's activities. This approach balances both established performers and emerging talent throughout the event.
