News & Updates

After a day of sleep and tending to sore feet and muscles from the weekend, we've returned to the festival office and are beginning wrap-up for this year and thinking about next. We all had a fantastic time this weekend, and from all the wonderful comments you have shared with us, it seems that you did too. Over the next few days we will be posting bits and blurbs about the festival that we find online and in the press; below are a few to get you started. If in your web travels you find any photos, videos, articles or blogs, please let us know, and keep checking back here to see what's been found.

We'd like to extend a very big thanks to everybody that helped make this past week of festivities possible. This festival couldn't have happened without the great artists, performers and musicians; vendors, local businesses and community members; our incredibly dedicated volunteers; and of course our board chairs Councillor Bill Saundercook and Carmen Victor and the rest of our directors. Thank you all so much!
