Calgary Folk Music Festival's 2026 Friday Nooner Event

Please join us for this exclusive supporter recognition event!
As part of the 47th Calgary Folk Music Festival, we're delighted to invite our supporters to an exclusive Friday Nooner Supporter Appreciation Event on Friday, July 24, 2026, from 11:30am to 2:00pm on the beautiful Prince's Island Park, proudly sponsored by Michelle O'Reilly Foundation in support of CFMF and Trades Guild.
This special gathering held at the Friends of the Festival Stage 3 & Big Rock Beer Garden is our chance to celebrate the incredible community of donors, sponsors, volunteers, and friends who help keep the music playing year after year.
We are also honoured to recognize , a remarkable Calgary-based not-for-profit organization that the Michelle O'Reilly Foundation is highlighting during this year's Friday Nooner. Together, we are proud to support and celebrate organizations like Trades Guild that create meaningful opportunities and make a lasting difference in our community.
Join us for a leisurely summer lunch, generously sponsored by Concorde Catering (a variety of dietary preferences available), drinks provided by Calgary’s own Big Rock Brewery, and a very special performance from Juno Award-winning artist Mariel Buckley.
