Viru Folk is an Estonian music festival held in August in Käsmu since 2008.[2]

It is organised by the nonprofit organization (MTÜ) Viru Folk, and Peep Veedla is the main organiser of the festival.[3] Since 2013, Viru Folk has focused on the music and culture of one region per festival.[4]

Between the years 2010–2020, the amount of festival visitors have varied from 4000 (in 2020, due to Corona) to 12 000.[5][6] According to the study, 63% of the visitors were aged between 21–50 and 66% of the visitors were women.[7]

Viru Folk has been awarded the European Festivals Association's EFFE Label twice (2015 and 2017).[8][9]
