Calgary Folk Music Festival
Each year over 50,000 people make their way to Prince’s Island in Calgary to hear music from home and abroad. In 2019, Calgary Folk Fest celebrated its 40th anniversary. ATB has proudly been the presenting sponsor since 2018.
Throughout the year, ATB looks for ways to support Alberta’s vibrant music scene by partnering with Folk Fest on pop-up concerts, surprise and delight moments, and more.
Each February, we also bring a little warmth to the long, dark winter by supporting Folk Fest’s Block Heater Festival held at the National Music Centre and other venues around Calgary.
