Back Forty Music Festival
EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF THE BACK 40 MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Back40 Music Festival is Southern Manitoba’s best kept musical secret – until now. Situated in a beautiful park in the heart of Morden, Manitoba, the Back40 Music Festival has struck a balance of showcasing beloved local talent and welcoming popular touring artists. We also nurture local talent all year long by curating special events throughout the year. Since the Back40 Music Festival’s inception in 1989, our mission is to keep homemade music alive while also supporting talent from across Canada when we celebrate at our annual festival.
