The Hill at Home
Welcome
Thank you for joining us for a weekend of music, song, food, and art at home.
Much of our Hill at Home content is still available to enjoy!
Watch our YouTube channel:
The Edmonton Folk Music Festival respectfully acknowledges that the land on which we gather is situated on Treaty Six Territory. For thousands of years, the Edmonton river valley has been a Pehonan, a traditional meeting and gathering place for Indigenous Peoples. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis, Inuit and Non-Status Aboriginal Peoples whose presence and culture enrich our vibrant community. We are all beneficiaries of this longtime Indigenous philosophy of peaceful cohabitation, between the earth, the animals, and all humans. We all have a responsibility to one another and this land.
Please stay safe and follow Alberta Health Guidelines for gatherings if you’re getting together with friends for The Hill at Home. Current guidelines can be found here

Recipes from the Festival Kitchen
Dear Folk Fest family and friends
In the absence of this year’s Folk Festival, the Festival Kitchen has lovingly compiled menu ideas based on past recipes. These recipes are among my personal favourites and those that have been requested by volunteers and festival guests. One quality that they have in common is the simplicity of the steps. This way, you can recreate some of the Festival Kitchen favourites while at home.
Throughout the weekend, our Festival Kitchen volunteers prepare these dishes in large quantity; some of these recipes have been served to 2500-3000 folks! As always, most of the ingredients are not only affordable, and in season but also locally sourced so they can feed the hearts of our festival. With this in mind, we have adjusted these recipes for your family and friends gathering.
Please feel free to contact us by email kitchen@edmontonfolkfest.org if you have questions or would like to request a recipe not included in this small collection.
Happy cooking and bon appétit!
Stephane Levesque, Festival Kitchen Manager
