Folk Fest





An annual music festival in Edmonton that carries on, rain or shine. (Visiting musicians find this very bemusing.) Bring your tarp, umbrella & raincoat. No whining. Strangely enough, the acoustics are excellent. They've also figured out a way to limit trash ... you pay $2 for a "plate deposit" when you buy food. Then you return the plate (it's a real one, not paper or plastic) and get your $2 back. Of course there are enterprising boys running around with signs "Will Take Your Plate" if you can't be bothered to walk it back to the food area.

  1. There is nothing like a festival in the rain (look at Glastonbury over in the UK - not the same without the mud!!). Great idea with the plates too - paper plates in the rain is never a good thing :-) Take care xx
