Mission Folk Fest in the Fraser Valley

The Mission Folk Music Festival usually happens on the last weekend of July. It’s a fair-sized festival at a beautiful venue that attracts dozens of performers and thousands of local folk-music enthusiasts.

 

What to Expect at the Festival in Mission

At the Mission Folk Music Festival you can expect a number of stages with performances taking place throughout each of the event’s days. Some people camp overnight at the festival right on-site. Others attend for just a single day.

At the venue there’s a camping area, an artisan market with over 20 vendors, and a kids and family area for the little ones. There are also around six food trucks and a licensed bistro serving beer and other cool beverages.

The Mission Folk Music Festival isn’t a huge event, but it’s pretty big, and a nice one. It’s also family-friendly and attracts a wide range of music lovers. As many as 1,500 people show up on the busiest days.

Most of the musicians are local, and the quality of play is very high. Overall, it’s a fabulous event and highly recommended.
