August 7-10th, 2008 The Folk Harbour Festival always offers a balance of traditional folk performers, local musicians, promising new singer/songwriters, and seasoned folk artists. This wealth and diversity of talent ensures a fascinating sharing of tunes and stories for audiences as well as performers.
Lunenburg offers a magical blend of stunning scenery, warm hospitality and captivating music guaranteed to create the wonderful memories that continue to draw people back year after year. A variety of workshops complement the main performances, as interest in storytelling, dance, children's songs and songwriting has grown in step with the Folk Harbour Festival.  The Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival is a musical kaleidoscope of sounds from around the world, with a mix that varies a little from year to year. But we feature the finest acoustic music played by some of the best talent available, complemented by dance sessions and fascinating workshops.
