The Ottawa festival may be one of the best Folk Festivals running. I say this because not only have they been able to tap into a large young audience, they usually manage to have diversity in their performers, including traditional music(which many festivals do not theses days). When you go to the festival you really get the sense of excitement, energy, creativity, enthusiasm in the younger generations in both listening and playing the music. Ottawa has created an incredibly vibrant and living music scene and I have to give them credit. I think the K.P. strategy is probably a good one.
