The Stan Rogers Folk Festival, informally known as Stanfest, is an annual three-day music festival held in Canso, Nova Scotia.
Established in 1997 by Troy Greencorn in honour of the late Canadian folk singer and songwriter Stan Rogers, the festival bills itself as "an international festival of songwriters", showcasing Canadian and worldwide grassroots musicians in all genres. The festival has won a number of East Coast Music Awards and attracts over 10 000 music fans each year.[1]
The 2007 festival, Stanfest #11, took place between 29 June and 1 July, and the 2008 festival is scheduled for 4 July through 6 July.
