From the Festival Family

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

Family at a picnic table at Gussapolooza

"We were a bit apprehensive being in our 50's, but we were greeted by every generation and some of the kindest people I've met. We camped, made new friends, and had the absolute best time."

Singer from Handsome Sandwich performing

"Found three new favourite bands I'd never heard of before. This is what discovering music is supposed to feel like."

Campfire near the Rebel Stage

"Brought the kids, brought the tent, brought a cooler. Didn't want to leave on Sunday."
