Calgary Folk Music Festival

[2] The festival has attracted a diverse array of notable artists, including Father John Misty, Neko Case, Julia Jacklin, the Avett Brothers, David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Andrew Bird, and Tanya Tagaq.

[citation needed] The three-day sessions allow participants to develop their musical skills in different areas including songwriting, arrangement, vocal techniques, and guitar.

The winter festival hosts over 20 local, national and international artists for concerts and collaborative songwriter-in-the-round sessions at several venues throughout the neighbourhood and downtown Calgary.

Designed by Peter Cardew Architects and built in 2012, the building is equivalent to LEED Silver due to its reclaimed materials, geo-thermal heating and cooling systems, and architectural details, such as the timber ceiling.

[citation needed] The Hall extends the Festival into a year-round operation as the host of concerts, multi-media presentations, and workshops at the venue.
