Mariposa Folk Festival is a Canadian music festival founded in 1961 in Orillia, Ontario. It was held in Orillia for three years before being banned because of disturbances by festival-goers.

  • Le festival folklorique Mariposa a commencé en 1961 à Orillia en Ontario. Il est devenu de plus en plus populaire et les visiteurs ont surpassé en nombre les habitants d'Orillia en 1963 et les suites ont causé le conseil municipal d'interdire le festival en 1964. Pour les deux décennies suivantes Mariposa s'est déplacé vers des endroits à Toronto et à Caledon. Mariposa est un des plus vieux festivals folk en Amérique du Nord et pendant des décennies plusieurs artistes notables ont joué là-bas incluant Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Buffy Saint-Marie et Gordon Lightfoot.
