Ottawa’s CityFolk music festival returns on Wednesday, September 13 to close out the summer festival season. With autumn just around the corner, it’s time for one last summer bash before we break out our cozy clothes and Halloween decorations.
The festival consists of a variety of genres and Canadian and international musicians across two stages (the TD stage and the Courtside stage). It takes place from September 13 to 17 at The Great Lawn, Landsdowne Park, Ottawa. View the site map to get acquainted with the festival grounds before it begins.
