GUEST,Jim What was your Favorite Folk Fest? (87* d) RE: What was your Favorite Folk Fest? 25 Aug 08

My first Folk Festival, the 1961 Mariposa F.F. held in Orillia, Ont. was great. The first time I got to meet a bunch of fellow folkies.

The 1965 Mariposa Festival in Maple Leaf Stadium in Toronto was probably my favourite. I got to meet John Hurt before I even knew who he was. After talking to him for a few minutes amnd discovering that he knew Rev. Davis personally, I ran to my brother and our buddy and told them that I'd met a personal friend of Gary Davis. Imagine my surprise when I saw him perform later that day.

My current favourite is the Shelter Valley Folk Festival near Grafton, Ontario. Well run and always a good time.
