WELCOME

We present lively and meaningful folk music of a wide variety that brings us together in this coffee house-style, monthly event (on the third Friday of each month, except July and August), starting at 7 p.m.

Welcome to Nanaimo Folk Connection, celebrating live folk music with local and imported talent, for only a $10 donation per show, which includes a beverage and a yummy desert!

These monthly gatherings promote acoustic folk music. Folk music is defined here as non-commercial music arising from the experience of ordinary working people and often learned orally. Our Coffee House is 3rd Friday of the month September to June. We start at 7PM with an open stage until 8:15PM, followed by a feature act from 8:30PM-9:30PM, approximately.

As of the fall of 2026 we are located at the Unitarian Hall, 595 Townsite Road, at the corner of Millstone Avenue in Nanaimo.
