photo documentary ... Vancouver Folk Festival

The Vancouver Folk Music Festival, founded in 1978, is a Canadian cultural institution. It is a unique community-based celebration internationally renowned for presenting the finest traditional and contemporary folk and roots music from around the world.

In its 41st year when I shot those images (2018), the Festival continues to be one of the city’s most beloved, enjoyed, and respected events. Each year, it draws more than 40,000 enthusiastic attendees to beautiful Jericho Beach Park.
