The Back 40 Music Festival calls itself Southern Manitoba's best kept musical secret — a secret shared by word of mouth, in a park in Morden, between the prairie and the big sky.
An annual folk gathering, it is built on closeness: artists from the Prairies and beyond, an audience that settles in for the day, and the small-town Manitoba hospitality that is half the show.
