It's sad that this event (which I look forward to all year) goes by so fast! Winnipeg Folk Festival gets better and better each year. Meeting new fantastic positive people, inspiring music and beautiful weather, can't ask for a better event eh?
I have mentioned before what the Winnipeg Folk festival is but if you missed last years blog, it is a festival held at Birds Hill Park which is about a 25 min drive away from Winnipeg. It includes variety of folk artists from around the world as well as many local artists! I could go on and on about the details but to save some space on here please check out http://www.winnipegfolkfestival.ca/ on all the details you want to here.
This is one of my favorite times to shoot in the year, it always inspires me to be surrounded by people who are creative and entertaining. I have so much respect for the people who put there artistic skills into play to make everyones folk fest an event to remember. My good friends the Castle Boys, who plan all year to make the enormous structure that everyone looks forward to, which included the Library which you will see in the following pictures. We even had some Shakespeare come into play in the campground also known as Folksspeare. Red Tent, Trading post.. list goes on!.
Music is always a hit. My favorites were Ganga Giri, Beats Antique, Toots & the Maytals, Oh My Darling, Crooked Brothers, Jeff Tweedy .. so many to name.
Enjoy the moments I captured at folk fest and I hope you can feel the vibe of the festival through these photos! Much love xoxo
