The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival brings the best in traditional and contemporary folk music to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. We are Nova Scotia’s longest-running folk festival and have showcased great Nova Scotian, Canadian and international talent during our 30 years. We are proud to have introduced many of the Maritimes’ best-loved musicians to a wider audience on our stages. 
 
Lunenburg literally bursts at the seams with music and Festival goers during the four days of Folk Harbour. With a long history of good weather (knock wood), fantastic music and unmatched atmosphere, music lovers of all ages are in for non-stop entertainment. 
 
The Festival officially opens on Thursday with a full day music conference: Folk Steps, usually held in the Zion Lutheran Church, which allows music lovers to examine a theme with experts in that genre of music.
