Riverfest Elora 2018: A compendium of posts - Concert Photos

Three days in August. Thirty-seven live bands captured. Thousands of photos taken, culled, edited and posted, hundreds of songs heard, dozens of words written and we have another Riverfest Elora in the books. It may take a while for me to get through all of those steps, but I hope there's still appreciation for the content, and as the temperature falls along with the coloured leaves and we ease reluctantly into autumn, it's a great time to reflect back on an incredible summer of music and another incredible Riverfest Elora.

This year marked the festival's tenth anniversary. That's quite an impressive milestone when the realities of how hard it is to put on a great festival year after year become more and more apparent. I only hope that Riverfest Elora can keep it up and I'll still be covering it over the decades to come.

Riverfest Elora gathers an amazing mixture of established and classic acts, up and coming artists and brand new discoveries. I'm guaranteed to come away having experienced the best of each, along with some new bands that blew my mind. It's an exceptionally well-curated festival that is well organized and well run, and attracts an enthusiastic and fun-loving yet easy-going crowd. It's a pretty difficult combination to pull off and Riverfest Elora does it so well. I look forward to this festival each year.

I was left this year with one amusing thought. It totally cracks me up that people have these new canoe shaped lounge chair things and they have to run like crazy, trailing them behind like some tubular stringless kite, and do this many times, just so they can sit down. *Shrugs and sits on the grass*
