Date: August 17-19, 2018
Title: 11th Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival
Location: Princeton, BC Canada. Princeton is about 300 km (200 miles) E of Vancouver (about a three-hour drive through spectacular landscape).

A free festival, and entirely volunteer-run, open to all performers of traditional music. Two outdoor stages, one indoor. The festival starts Friday night with a free public dance in the town square (this year it's English country dance!). Presentations, workshops, concerts, panels, from 10am to 6 pm Saturday and Sunday. About 120 performers. Glorious countryside (semi-desert, mountains), an ideal vacation spot, too.

Cheers!

I've been there, performed there, 'audiented' there, and partied with the best of them (and probably the worst, too).   A wonderful experience! There's not another festival like it!

Wish I was again living in Princeton so we could go. A fun and relaxed festival, and the best music party in the west.
