As a well established juried arts and craft festival, the Filberg Festival also appreciates and respects the craft of the musician and has deliberately developed a stellar music program. The Filberg Festival has a roots music feel to it with a musical line up featuring musicians from all across Canada, as well as a few from further afield. Most of the performers will be presenting shows on both the Main Stage, and on the more intimate Garden Stage. But some performers are only featured on one stage, so you might want to check out your program carefully so you don't miss your favourite musician.
The Filberg Festival has a tradition of presenting some of this country’s finest musicians. We anticipate this great music line-up is going to attract enthusiastic fans and we ask that festival attendees be kind and courteous as we try and make room for everyone to have a turn at listening to the music. Our aim is to make sure that everyone has a good time. Please remember that admission to the festival is to the overall event, not any particular musical performance. As a noted arts and craft festival in its 29th year, the Filberg Festival is a family friendly festival presenting four days of entertainment for the whole family.
The festival is well known for its comprehensive children’s program dedicated to children’s entertainment and education. Children's performers interact and educate their audiences, providing the young with a happy festival experience. Each day of the festival several entertaining children’s performers will be featured. In addition to this, families will find many other activities to keep them busy in the children's area: singing, storytelling, face painting, the Lego tent, the crafts table, and the painting easels. The Filberg Festival is held to celebrate excellence in arts and crafts and music as well as to raise the funds needed to maintain and restore the very beautiful Filberg Heritage Lodge and Gardens.
