This year’s Vancouver Folk Music Festival was a wonderful success. Held at Jericho Park, next to Jericho Beach, the annual summer event spans the largest physical space devoted to any festival in the city. This year marked the festival’s 30th anniversary, quite a feat for an event that doesn’t accept corporate sponsorship.

With well-known acts such as The Be Good Tanyas, The Wailin’ Jennys, Hawksley Workman, Oh Susanna and Utah Phillips, there was never a dull moment. The collective artists seemed to win the crowds with politics, humor and, of course, great music. The best way to fit all of the artists in is the weekend pass the festival sells, a must if you intend to spend the weekend hanging out with music and Vancouver’s spectacular skyline.

A local favorite, these three women were a crowd pleaser. Their personal and meaningful lyrics were catchy and tended to stick in your head, which wasn’t a bad thing at all. They played to large crowds, both on the smaller and larger stages.
