The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is a non-profit charitable organization that presents the annual ROOTS&BLUES Festival the third weekend of every August. Additionally the SAFMS presents a series of pre-festival concerts in the Shuswap region under our community engagement program, Super Crawl concert series. The Festival takes place on the third weekend of every August at the Salmon Arm Fairgrounds, a picturesque 18 acre park in the centre of beautiful Salmon Arm, British Columbia. At night, two stages run simultaneously. TD Main Stage is at one end of the grounds and is where you can catch the headlining acts. The dynamic Boogie Barn Stage lies at the other end, pumping out live beats for the dancers in the crowd. During the day, six stages run concurrently featuring different genres of music including Blues, World, Alt-Roots, Folk, Dance and many others. Roots & Blues is family friendly with a Family Fun Zone offering loads of things for kids to see and do, including a Family Stage with a line-up geared towards children. Kids 12 and under are admitted free of charge. Other amenities include a Global Food Village offering a delectable selection of western and ethnic cuisine, an Artisan Market featuring handmade Canadian originals, shaded beverage gardens with stage views, pre-registered camping, paid parking, and much more. The Festival is a sonic and visual sampler serving up an unforgettable experience. With something for everyone, it makes a great rendezvous point for friends and family coming together in the summertime.
