In the Festival’s early years, it established and ran its own record label and distribution company, Festival Records.Over the years, the Vancouver Folk Music Festival has played a key role in the development of artists and audiences on a regional, national, and international level. The society continues to honour the same traditions with an emphasis on emerging and diverse artists.
