Canadian, world music icons headline Islands Folk Festival in Cowichan
Organizers raised the artistic budget to add more workshops and stages, alongside Canadian and world music acts, Connolly said.
- The Island Folk Festival marks 42 years at Providence Farm from July 24 to 26, featuring Canadian and world music icons alongside local performers in an expanded lineup.
- Artistic Director Jack Connolly increased the artistic budget to bring international icons to Providence Farm, while ensuring local and national artists receive equal respect on festival stages.
- Three main outdoor stages include the Chapel Stage, which offers completely acoustic performances without amplification. The expanded Garden Workshop area features daily yoga, singing, and jamming sessions led by artists and community members.
- Full weekend passes cost $175 until July 23, with $87.50 rates for ages 16-18 and free admission for children 15 and under through the Cowichan Folk Guild.
- For three days, the festival transforms into a 'parallel universe' where Connolly hopes attendees discover music they'll carry for years and leave feeling inspired by genuine community connection.
