The Mission Folk Music Festival has revealed the full weekend schedule of performances for its 39th annual festival, slated for July 24 to 26 in Fraser River Heritage Park, just east of Mission.
Three evening main-stage concert showcases will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 6 and 11pm. Over the weekend, festival-goers can feast on an array of more than 30 collaborative performances, concerts, workshops and sessions, jams, and song circles across four daytime stages running from 11am to 5:30pm daily.
The diverse roster encompasses more than 25 acts from across North America and beyond, with five main-stage concerts each evening. Friday night opens big with Brianna Lizotte’s jig-inducing Métis fiddling, and ends with the powerhouse soul of Tanika Charles. Saturday night includes Sauljaljui’s captivating blend of traditional Taiwanese sounds and global influences, as well as the electrifying West African guitar music of Alpha Yaya Diallo and BAFING. Sunday’s closing night concerts include the harmonic genius of The Fugitives and the hard-driving rhythms of Chicago’s LowDown Brass Band.
There are fun activities for kids and familities planned! On-site amenities include a food court, artisan market, and shaded beer garden. Parking is easy and cheap, onsite camping is available at a nominal cost.
