Summerfolk 52 - August 20-22, 2027

Thank You for Making Summerfolk 51 Unforgettable

What a weekend!

To the incredible performers who filled Summerfolk with music, stories, laughter and heart. Thank you for sharing your gifts and creating so many magical moments with us.

To everyone who joined us in the audience – you danced, sang, clapped, cheered and brought the festival to life. Summerfolk is what it is because you continue to show up, year after year, ready to share in the music and the joy of being together.

And to our generous sponsors and community partners, thank you for believing in Summerfolk and helping make this extraordinary weekend possible. Your support keeps live music, creativity and community thriving on the shores of Georgian Bay.

From all of us at Summerfolk, thank you for making Summerfolk 51 one to remember.

Until we gather again. ❤️

Our festival weathers any storm.

The rain came, the mud came, the forecasts kept changing—and Summerfolk still happened.

A little each month adds up to something powerful. Summerfolk 1000 is a community of monthly supporters helping give the festival the dependable foundation it needs to plan ahead, support the music and weather whatever comes next. Just $10 a month — about 33¢ a day — can make a real difference when 1,000 of us do it together.
