With free daytime concerts and workshops, a CHILDREN’S AREA with music & crafts, an ARTISTS’ MARKET with all sorts of one-of-a-kind stuff, the outdoor ROCK GARDEN with liquids to get your mind racing and your body moving, and a FABULOUS FOOD COURT with soul nourishing edibles, the Regina Folk Festival is a full on experience.

A Note on the Construction:
As part of Regina’s new Downtown City Square, the City of Regina is implementing a complete redesign and redevelopment of Victoria Park and the 12th Avenue block directly North of the park. We have been working hand in hand with the City’s architect and the Planning and Sustainability Department to make Victoria Park even more event-friendly. We are proud to be the “poster child” for the project, as we are currently the largest event in the downtown space. We have been investing resources into the project over the last three years to ensure the designs make sense for events like ours, larger or smaller. The new permanent stages, trample-friendly lawn, Mainstage space, electrical outlets, traffic paths and the 12th Avenue street closure concept will contribute to the increased usage and safety of the downtown space, bringing more people downtown and more visitors to the City of Regina.
For the 2010 Regina Folk Festival, we are adjusting the festival layout to accommodate for the construction and are doing our best to maintain all regular festival services. The open-air plaza that will be so key in future years will be under construction this year. To adjust to this temporary disruption, the concessions have been relocated to Scarth Street and the Arts Market to the Southeast corner of the park. The Mainstage will not move from its traditional location in the Northwest corner of the park.
The Regina Folk Festival is proudly carrying the torch for this project and we are very excited about the possibilities for arts and culture in the future of downtown Regina. We ask you for your patience during the construction period and hope you will be pleasantly surprised by some of the wonderful changes we have made to the festival site!
