Here are just a few of the many options for participating at the festival:
The Thirsty Dog
The Thirsty Dog is a full-service bar inspired by the charm of classic English-style pubs. Designed with warm wood accents, it’s the perfect spot to gather with friends between sets. Grab one of your favourite festival beverages, or enjoy a Sunsplit IPA or Premium Light Lager on draft from Dominion City Brewing Co. We’ll also be serving our signature cocktails – The Negroni and The Old Fashioned – available exclusively at The Thirsty Dog.
Snack Shack
Snack Shack is the festival’s go-to spot for salty snacks and tasty treats. From classic hot dogs fresh off the grill to grab-and-go favourites, like chips and chocolate, Snack Shack has you covered, whether you’re craving something savoury or a little sweet.
TD Bank
Discover your next favourite artist at the TD Discovery Bar. Stop by and answer a few quick questions about the music you love and we’ll create a personalized playlist featuring artists performing at CityFolk. Preview your picks at our headphone listening stations, find out when and where your recommended artists are performing, then take your custom playlist with you on a branded wristband. Simply tap it with your phone to listen anytime, and share your discoveries with friends.
Happy Dad Tailgate
Kick back and enjoy the Happy Dad experience at CityFolk! Drop by on your way to your next set to grab a sample of our ice-cold seltzers or hard lemonade. While you’re there, challenge your friends to a game of cornhole, kick back in the seating area, or gather around the fire pit and soak in the festival vibes. With our Happy Dad trailer serving up samples all week, it’s the perfect spot to refresh, relax, and recharge.
Dominion City Brewing Co.
Step into Dominion City’s hangout: a lively outdoor space made for very good drinks and a very good time. Kick back with a game of bean bag toss and enjoy a complimentary taste of Sunsplit IPA or Premium Light Lager before heading over to the beer tents for the real deal. Looking for something a little different? The City Seltzer bubble bike will be making an appearance with some City Seltzer sips, Ottawa’s favourite non-alcoholic flavoured sparkling water. Whether you’re meeting up with friends, taking a break between sets or scouting out your next drink, the Dominion City hangout is an inviting, playful stop at CityFolk. Grab a sip, play a game and settle in for a little while.
Little Victories Coffee Roasters
Typical festival coffee? Not exactly our favourite. However, this year we’ve partnered with Little Victories Coffee Roasters, who will be serving up exceptional coffee and espresso martinis straight from their own custom-built shipping container.
This Ottawa favourite is bringing their passion for elevating coffee culture straight to the festival grounds. Whether you need a freshly brewed batch coffee or a perfectly crafted espresso martini to toast the evening headliners, they have you covered.
Stop by to meet the LVC team to grab a coffee between sets!
