One of the things I've promised myself is that one day I would take a musical road trip, hitting festivals in a huge circuit, starting in southern Manitoba, Canada, heading south and then making my way back via the east coast, and just camping and going to festivals along the way. So, what are some great music festivals to check out? Where are the best festivals, all kinds of music, (tough mainly rootsy stuff I guess; I'll pass on Ozz Fest!)? Where and when (close as you can come)? I woouldn't mind hearing from my Euro friends as well, should a trip to say Ireland or Scotland coincide. Time of the year doesn't matter; this is kind of a dream of mine; I'll sort out reality later. SB

Well, SB, only because the thought of Britney singing Dylan made me spit tea everywhere.....Try This Link for a listing of festivals and links. Happy Trails.

Old Songs, what Mario mentioned, is #1.

Champlain Festival, first weekend in August - They're moving back to the State Park on the Lake Shore, from the university campus where they've been for several years.

If you want something to do the weekend before Old Songs, go here and click on "Entertainment" at the bottom (caution - the preceding is SSP).
