The Regina Guild of Folk Arts (not “Music”) was registered as a non-profit corporation in
Saskatchewan on Feb. 7, 1975. Its objectives were “to preserve and to promote the folk arts in its traditional and modern definition primarily in Regina, Saskatchewan,” and “to educate the people of Regina as to

In its first two decades, the festival changed venues numerous times. It was hosted at the
University of Regina in various locations: the Newman Centre at the year-old Campion College in 1969 and the Education Auditorium (1970, 1973, 1975, 1981–84) on the newer south Regina campus; and the Fine Arts

In 1992, “Regina came perilously close to not having a folk festival,” as
Brigdens Printers Ltd. sued the folk guild for $ 21,000 and threatened to garnish its bank accounts and revenue from ticket sales from a Friday night pre-festival cabaret. That was related to printing the 1991 program and the

Butel told the Leader-Post prior to the 2018 festival, “The diversity of the audience we see during the day is much greater than what we see at night. The free day time allows us to make it a welcoming place for everybody and that’s very important to us. We’ve been working really hard to find new

In its first seven years, the Regina Folk
Festival took place in March. It was scheduled in later months as the years progressed — four years in a row in April, then four in May. By 1984, the 16th festival, it took place in June, which allowed for two outdoor stages to be part of festival at the

From 1985 to 1993, this wasn’t the case. To draw a larger audience, organizers opted to offer free admission to the festival, now located in
Victoria Park. It became increasingly difficult to fund the festival, which relied on grant funding, fundraisers and donations to fund the annual event.
58:. Humphrey and the Dumptrucks from Saskatoon and Roberta Nichol from Regina were among the “35 modern Canadian groups” to perform, as described on the festival poster. Shows started at 8:30 p.m. nightly. Tickets were $ 1 at the door, or $ 2.50 in advance for all three nights.
170:
There were some hurdles, however. Planning a ticketed event meant fencing off the stage area, but city officials at first disagreed with fencing off part of
Victoria Park. Moving out of downtown would have lost the festival $ 10,000 in Regina Market Square grant funding.
235:
The 2018 festival had 18 food vendors — including Afghan
Cuisine, Bon Burger, Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery, Selam Ethiopian Restaurant, and Malinche — and more than 29 arts vendors— including Mortise and Tenon, Kat Cadegan Jewellery, and Naked Kitty Naturals.
159:
In 1994, with an accumulated deficit of $ 14,000, organizers decided to cancel the festival. Part of that was due to a failed fundraising initiative, a lottery calendar that lost $ 8,000. Despite successful fundraising efforts, the 1993 festival lost $ 9,000.
142:
In 1991, it offered a beer garden for the first time — a controversial decision for a family-friendly festival — because “we’ve got to do something to generate some sort of income so (the festival) can stay free of charge,” said artistic director Norma Cyr.

In 2015, the RFF announced it would add a winter festival. The first
Winterruption ran from January 21 to 23, 2016, in Regina, in partnership with the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon, which also had a festival. There were four shows.

163:“We’ve been paying last year’s bills with this year’s money for the past three years,” Haggman told the Leader-Post. “(Cancelling) gives us the chance to clear up this situation and go into 1995 with a good, workable plan.”
247:
In 2016, the RFF implemented a new greening initiative, with volunteers specifically overseeing recycling, composting and waste. This was in hopes of diverting 90 per cent or more of the festival’s waste from the landfill.

A donation from ticket sales to the musical Hair, which toured to the Centre of the Arts in late April 1994, helped pay down more than $ 5,000 of its debt, and organizers felt confident they would return in 1995.
105:“It was our hope that the move to a free, out-of-doors festival would introduce to a whole new audience the world of folk music, contemporary and traditional,” Folk Guild president Will Oddie wrote in 1986.

When she began, she was the only paid staff member of the festival with a $ 100,000 budget. In 2012, the RFF had a $ 1-million budget, four full-time staff and contract employees.

Since 1985, the RFF has been held outdoors in Victoria Park. In its early years, it changed venues numerous times. It was hosted at the University of Regina in various locations:

With the mainstage set up in the northwest corner, there are three smaller stages spread throughout the park (including a children’s stage), and one on the F.W. Hill Mall.

In 2014, Royal Canoe played through a power outage at the after-party at The Exchange. Headliner Sam Roberts, who had been stormed out from the main stage, also performed.
118:
In 2007, City and Colour was cancelled on the mainstage due to a storm. He performed at the after-party at the Royal Canadian Legion, to a fraction of the festivalgoers.

In addition to the summer festival, the RFF hosts a concert series throughout the year. Since 2016, it has hosted an annual winter festival, Winterruption, in January.

The 1987 festival had a $ 10,000 deficit. In 1990, there was a $ 1,800 shortfall. Its performance budget in 1991 was $ 24,000. Its total costs were $ 150,000 in 1991.

183:“$ 10 doesn’t come anywhere close to covering the actual cost,” organizer Keith Fortowsky told the Leader-Post. “But 40 bucks a night would be a ridiculous cost.”
