The Live from the Rock Folk Festival is an annual music and arts festival located on the beautiful shore of Lake Superior in Red Rock, Ontario. Since the Live from the Rock Blues & Folk Society started dreaming up the first festival, with the inaugural event held in August of 2003, Live from the Rock has become an annual tradition for over 2,000 music lovers from around the region, the country and the world. It is a grassroots festival run almost 100 per cent by volunteers and, without the support of approximately 200 dedicated volunteers and the Township of Red Rock each year, the festival could not exist.

Live from the Rock offers world class music on daytime workshop-style stages, as well as an evening concert lineup on the main Festival Stage. The first notes can be heard floating across the lake and don't stop until the Festival Stage closes the weekend on Sunday evening.

The festival offers world class music on daytime workshop-style stages, as well as an evening concert stage. Daytime workshops are a magical experience well known in the folk festival scene. Several musicians grace each stage and play music based on the theme of the workshop.

Workshop performances provide musicians with the opportunity to talk about their music, which makes it a truly intimate experience for the crowd. Most musicians and performers get a chance to play several of their own songs during each workshop. The talented musicians will often jam along with each other and create music that has never been heard before and may never be recreated again. It's magic that you have to experience to fully understand.
