A Look at Folk Fest's Epic Food & Drink Lineup (With Menus)

The Winnipeg Folk Festival may best be known for its killer music lineups, but if you wanna dance you’re gonna need fuel.

Thankfully for us, Folk Fest just released their 2018 food and drink lineup – and our taste buds are already buzzing.

In addition to annual favourites like East India Company, KYU Grill and Whales Tails (because there’s ALWAYS room for dessert), there will also be some newbies onsite, like Habanero Sombrero, Stella’s, Verde Juice Bar and King + Bannatyne. It’s also worth mentioning that there will be more vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options than ever before.

We’re also stoked to see so many of our partners on board for this year’s festival. Because the only thing better than supporting local is supporting local AND saving money.

To give you head start on your Folk Fest meal planning, here’s a look at this year’s vendors.
