Calgary Folk Music Festival's 2026 Spring Prize Raffle
“Support CFMF While Supporting Local” Spring Prize Raffle!
This year, we’re keeping the love close to home. Past raffles have sent lucky winners to concerts abroad, 2026 is all about celebrating the incredible music, arts & culture, culinary, and hospitality scene right here in our own backyard. From Calgary’s beloved live music venues to unforgettable experiences at our sister festivals — we’re creating a full year of staycations and live experiences that shine a spotlight on the talent and community that make Calgary shine.
With two exciting draws — The Golden Tarp Prize Package and the Grand Prize “Support CFMF While Supporting Local” Package — every ticket is a chance to win and a chance to give back. The best part? All tickets purchased before the 1st draw (yes, even the winning one!) go back into the pot for the Grand Prize draw — giving you double the chance to take home a year full of magic.
When you grab a ticket, you’re not just supporting CFMF — you’re standing with us in celebrating and uplifting our local partners. Let’s show them some love and keep the music playing all year long.
