The Esmorga Folk Festival was born in 1989 as a result of the effort of a group of young people from the village of A Bandeira who were passionate about traditional music. They observed how over time, this music was deteriorating and being forgotten. This festival was consolidated thanks to the commitment of the organizers to bring together renowned groups from the current music scene year after year, with musical acts from all around the world performing in A Bandeira.

Currently, the Esmorga Folk Festival takes place on the Friday of the Empanada Festival in the town of A Bandeira. This day is filled with various performances of traditional Galician dance and music, traditional games, and oher activities
