Folk Walk

The Canadian Folk Music Walk of Fame is located in Ottawa, Ontario along a beautiful stretch of Bank Street between the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal.

It is dedicated to notable Canadian folk musicians and artists. Each foot-wide plaque is cast with the names of great musicians such as Leonard Cohen, Sylvia Tyson, and Gordon Lightfoot – each voted for by hundreds of Canadians from coast to coast.

The Board, Staff, and Volunteers at the Canadian Folk Music Awards acknowledge that we live, work, meet and travel on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples that have cared for this land, now called Canada, since time immemorial. These lands are either subject to First Nations self-government under modern treaty, unceded and un-surrendered territories, or traditional territories from which First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples have been displaced.
