    Usually The Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, held in Bannerman Park
    in downtown St. John’s, has been held on the weekend after the first Wednesday in August. However starting in 2020 it will be held on the second weekend in July, so the 44th annual (2020) festival will be held from
    Friday July 10 to Sunday July 12, 2020.
