The CityFolk Festival has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup

The CityFolk Festival returns in 2026 with a new edition eagerly anticipated by music fans in the capital region.

Scheduled for September 17th–20th, 2026, at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, the festival will, as usual, feature a diverse lineup blending folk, rock, indie, and alternative music. The event will take place across several outdoor stages and is expected to bring together dozens of Canadian and international artists.

Organizers are once again aiming for a welcoming experience, combining outdoor performances, food trucks, local vendors, and cultural activities. The full lineup is set to be unveiled gradually throughout the summer of 2026, while ticket sales have already begun with a presale.

Over the years, CityFolk has established itself as one of Ottawa’s premier fall music events, drawing a diverse audience eager to enjoy several days of concerts right in the heart of the city.

A one-day presale will begin on Wednesday, May 13th, at 10 a.m., offering festivalgoers the opportunity to purchase general admission passes or VIP access to the entire festival at a discounted price. Organizers are also offering a deferred payment option starting at $20.

Prices are expected to increase after this promotional period ends. General admission day passes and VIP tickets will go on sale to the general public starting May 14th at 10 a.m.
