Live performances inside a Canadian National Historic Site, including a beehive kiln that once fired pottery in the early 1900s.

Tongue on the Post has been a folk festival in Medicine Hat for two decades, and the Historic Clay District once produced 1/3 of all clay in Canada in the early 1900s.

A combination of story-telling through history and raw, modern music during a Canadian winter in January.

“Medalta has been a natural home for Tongue on the Post. Both Medalta and the festival are rooted in Medicine Hat, and we’re happy to showcase this crown jewel in the City.” - Rob Pape, executive director of Tongue on the Post Folk Music Festival.

The full schedule and lineup has been published, and tickets from January 26-31, 2026 can be found with here.
