Cloggeroo has become one of Prince Edward Island's best known folk festivals and it has held events and annual festivals for the past four years in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island. Past dates for the festival are August 22-24, 2014; August 14-16, 2015; August 12-14, 2016 and August 11-13, 2017. The Charlottetown Guardian music columnist Todd MacLean named the Fortunate Ones 2016 performance at Cloggeroo as the best folk performance for that year in his year-end column.

Clogeroo has the widest variety of folk-inspired music you can imagine, from rock to reggae, from salsa to soul, and even some fist-pumping late night dance parties. Cloggeroo had Waterfront, Garden and Late Night stages during it's first three years and changed to a large tent stage on the waterfront in 2017. They have “on site” camping in Georgetown, one of PEI’s prettiest waterfront towns. One of Kings County's well known bands ,The Rubber Boot Band, have performed annually at the event and many of its long time members including Scott Taylor, Rheo Rochon and Brad Oliver are Cloggeroo Board members and with Chair Kathleen Flanagan have been instrumental in founding and growing the Festival and holding it in the location of The Georgetown Conference. The name of the Festival was inspired by Stompin' Tom Connors classic song "Gumboot Cloggeroo".
