“We are thrilled to invite music fans of all ages to come together on the shores of beautiful Lake Couchiching to enjoy the incredible music, reconnect with old friends, and make some new ones." said Mariposa Folk Festival President, Pam Carter.

Inspired by the theme Sounds Like Home, Artistic Director Spencer Shewen crafted a lineup that comes straight from the heart.

“This year, I really wanted to speak to something that’s always been at the heart of Mariposa: real music made by real people. There’s no A.I. here... just real musicians who’ve spent years honing their craft”. Shewen adds “When I was putting this lineup together, I kept coming back to what a summer festival should feel like for our audience. It’s about going on a journey - letting loose, relaxing, discovering new artists, creating memories, making new friends, and forgetting about the outside world for a while.

Returning to the lineup for 2026 are Steve Earle, Taj Mahal & The Phantom Blues Band, Billy Bragg, Sarah Harmer, The Barr Brothers, Dan Mangan, The Free Label, Great Lake Swimmers, Yukon Blonde, Lance Anderson, and more.

Making their Mariposa Folk Festival debut are Father John Misty, Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, St Paul & The Broken Bones, Ocie Elliott, Foxwarren, Leith Ross, The Longest Johns, and many more.
