Jersey Folklore Festival is a music festival held in Saint Helier, Jersey. The venue is People's Park, with a possible capacity of 5,000 people, and two stages. A main stage situated inside a large marquee, and the smaller Agapanthus Stage which is named after the Agapanthus flowers which grow in the park.
The plan for this festival was announced after a different annual Jersey folk music festival called Grassroots came to an end, due to financial issues. [1] [2]

The 2012 event took place on 30 June to 1 July. 2,000 people attended over the weekend. [4] The following acts performed on two stages;
