About Winterfolk XXIV – 24th Year – Feb 12 – 15, 2026

                          Jane Siberry comes to Winterfolk this year!  >>

Now 4 Days – Going into its 24th year, Winterfolk is Toronto’s annual mid-winter blues and roots festival, taking place February 12–15, 2026 at the Tranzac Club in downtown Toronto.

It’s an all-ages, weatherproof event that brings together blues, folk, roots, country, jazz, rock, and urban music, capturing the feel of a multi-stage summer festival—right in the heart of the city.

Winterfolk provides paid work for artists during February, brings much-needed revenue and commerce into the area, entertains and engages audiences, and continues to enrich the folk and roots genre through connection, creativity, and community spirit.
