About Salmon Arm ROOTSandBLUES Festival

The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society is a non-profit charitable organization that presents the annual ROOTS&BLUES Festival the last weekend of July every year. Additionally the SAFMS presents a series of pre-festival concerts in the Shuswap region under our community engagement program. Our ROOTSandBLUES festival is held annually in July over 3 days on the festival grounds. From humble beginnings as standalone folk shows in Salmon Arm community halls, ROOTSandBLUES has grown into a major Western Canadian outdoor event with a growing family of fans and volunteers from all over Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Now, we welcome that family to our community every summer for a relaxed tradition of Blues and Bluegrass, Indigenous, Celtic and Cuban, Americana and Afrobeat. Come and experience the picturesque Shuswap Lake as you enjoy our annual festival complete with multiple stages and a varied set-list. Even our daytime workshops are renowned for delivering high-voltage performances. Our focus always remains on the ROOTSandBLUES Festival. It’s the thread that ties incredible music into a shimmering tapestry of culinary delights from an international food village, a fun zone for children, an artisan marketplace featuring handcrafted Canadian made originals, and a tranquil camping site within earshot of the festival.
