The sibling of CityFolk Festival at Lansdowne Park, Marvest puts local musicians in the spotlight with a series of free and intimate concerts across the Glebe.
Marvest
Marvest is an excellent starting point if you are interested in exploring Ottawa’s continually growing and extremely underrated live music scene.
CityFolk, formerly known as Ottawa Folk Festival, is an annual festival that began 21 years ago by Max Wallace, a former station manager of Carleton University’s CKCU-FM radio station, Ottawa-based singer-songwriter Chris White, and a community of volunteers. The festival has grown from its humble roots on Ottawa’s Victoria Island to its new home at Lansdowne Park, next to TD Place.
