As part of Canadian North’s commitment to building thriving, connected communities, we’re proud to sponsor the Folk on the Rocks music festival.
More than a weekend of live music, the event is the top summertime music and cultural festivals of the Northwest Territories (NWT) that brings together the community through an array of vibrant performances, local art, and cultural programming. The event brings thousands of people together in a way that highlights the community, creativity, and spirit of the North.
Folk on the Rocks began in 1980 as a one-day, one-stage showcase for local talent. Forty-five years later, it has blossomed into a three-day, six-stage festival that draws performers from the NWT, Nunavut and across Canada. Along with the music, crowds can enjoy international and traditional cuisine at the food fair, check out non-profit groups and activities, and buy Northern creative works in the artisan tent.
Canadian North has been a proud sponsor of Folk on the Rocks for more than 25 years, and it continues to be a meaningful partnership in the North. Seeing Canadian North team members, families, and friends enjoying the festivities made for an incredible weekend for all.
Folk on the Rock’s mission of fostering a sense of community and pride in the territory through art and cultural programming aligns with Canadian North’s mission to make a difference in the communities we serve. We are proud to support this event that reflects the diversity and spirit of the north.
