The Back 40 Folk Festival is back! After having to cancel the event during the pandemic, we’re excited to announce a great lineup featuring fan favorites and local talent who are thrilled to be back making music for live audiences.

Headlining the show will be The Dirty Catfish Brass Band, a huge hit at the 2018 festival, and are back to get everyone up and dancing.  Beloved Manitoba favorites Leaf Rapids featuring Winnipeg’s Keri Latimer, will be there, returning favorite Shotgun Jimmie, and comedian/musician Dean Jenkinson will be hosting this year’s show.

The Back Forty spends a lot of time and energy through the year encouraging and supporting local artists, and we’re pleased to be featuring many of these fine performers, including Morden’s Brian Jacobs, Paige Drobot and J.P. Lepage, as well as Bill Dowling and the Even Breaks.

The festival will feature a children’s tent and an artisans’ village.

Tickets are now on sale! Advance tickets will be $20, available at back40folkfestival.com and Coop gas bars. Tickets at the gate are $25 (cash only). Kids 12 and under are free.
