Unlike its sister festival RBC Ottawa Bluesfest, which gets less and less bluesy every year, CityFolk was filled with folk acts big and small.
Of Monsters and Men
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.
