Throughout human history, folk music has nourished us, connected us and transported us. The Vancouver Folk Song Society draws on our rich musical traditions every time we gather, to build joy and meaning in our community.

What’s New

On the first and third Wednesday

of each month, the VFSS hosts the Wednesday Night Folk, featuring an Open Stage and a featured performer. All are welcome.

Come to sing. Come to play. Come to listen.

From demonstrations to classrooms, from neighbourhood festivals to care homes, VFSS members roll up their sleeves to participate in the broader community.

Visit our Community page to learn more.

We spend time together singing, learning, and organizing. Besides our Wednesday Night Folk, we hold regular song circles, workshops, community events, and a fabulous annual retreat.
