Winterfolk XXIV Blues and Roots Festival: 4 Days of Live Music at the Tranzac

Toronto's beloved roots music festival Winterfolk returns for its 24th edition, taking over the Tranzac Club from February 12 to 15, 2026. Featuring over 100 artists across multiple stages, the festival is a must for fans of folk, blues, and acoustic music.

What Makes Winterfolk Special

Unlike larger music festivals, Winterfolk's intimate setting at the Tranzac Club creates a close connection between performers and audience. The multi-stage format means you can wander between rooms, discovering new artists alongside established favourites like Shakura S'Aida, Suzie Vinnick, and Sultans of String.

Four Days of Discovery

Spread across four days, the festival offers enough programming to satisfy casual listeners and devoted roots music fans alike. Afternoon sets tend to be more relaxed, while evening performances bring higher energy. The festival's programming spans traditional folk and blues to contemporary singer-songwriters.

A Community Event

Winterfolk is more than a music festival. It is a gathering of Toronto's roots music community. Regular attendees return year after year, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that is rare at larger events. For newcomers, it is an ideal introduction to a vibrant corner of Toronto's music scene.
