Calgary Folk Music Festival - Presents Block Heater 2018

"The Calgary Folk Music Festival presents the third edition of Block Heater, a winter music extravaganza February 15 17, the Family Day long weekend. 24 local, national and international artists perform in concerts and collaborative sessions at Festival Hall (1215 10 Avenue SE), Ironwood Stage and Grill (1229 9 Ave SE), Studio Bell (850 4 St. SE) and the King Eddy (438 9 Ave. SE). Block Heater kicks off with a special edition of Dave Kelly Live on February 14 at Theatre Junction Grand, which commemorates the many ways music contributes to life in our city.

The multi-faceted roots, blues, country, and indie music program injects our summer festival vibe into a bleak winter month. Much like the island community built on Princes Island each July, this is a community-based festival experience that celebrates artistic excellence. Friday and Saturday night at Studio Bell and the King Eddy allows folks to wander from stage to stage, hang with friends at the different bars and become immersed in the National Music Centres exhibits and collections."
