It’s good to see so many festivals coming back after that long, awful period of COVID lockdowns. One of the great small-town Canadian music festivals is Riverfest in Bissell Park in Elora, Ontario. The lineup for this year’s event–30+ acts!–was announced today. I’ve been a couple of times and I can attest that the vibe is excellent.

Running the weekend of August 18-20, headliners include Metric, Feist and The Reklaws. Weekend passes are $150 right now and go up to $165 May 1. Tickets can be found here.
