On a Barge, Down by the River

Just a quick post to tell you about the River Barge Festival that started today! This 5-day festival is one of the Cultural Capital of Canada “Arts for All” offerings, and a marvelous idea!

It was a gorgeous, sunny day and one of the bands my husband manages, Johnny Cajun, was playing a set, so we Snugglied up our now 2-month old and headed over to the Forks for some fresh air and lively tunes.

The riverfront was full of people happily taking in the music and blue skies. The river taxi was doing runs back and forth, and from their location on a barge the band played on!

Upcoming acts include Greg MacPherson, Chic Gamine, Sierra Noble , Fred Penner and many others. I hope you get a chance to go over the next few days!
