Gotcha!!

How about the Conception Bay Festival, less crowded, quite traditional and close to my hometown... Bay Roberts

Carbonear (Conception Bay festival, second longest running festival in the province), held the last full weekend of July, so if the George Street festival is held then and loud rock music and hordes of boisterous partially drunken late teen and early twenty sorts and rock fans are not your cup of tea, or just to catch some celtic and other folk music in a semi-rural environment, check it out.
