Diversity is strength; inclusion is the only path.
Riverfest Elora has so much diversity in the artists and the audience. It’s wonderful. As you go from stage to stage, to artists that cross so many genres, there are always people singing along and so happy to see the artist that they know and love. Equal in number have to be the people who are out there to discover new artists and open their minds to new music. It’s a beautiful thing that wouldn’t be so notable if we saw it everywhere.
Riverfest Elora creates an inclusive environment. Artists, attendees and everyone involved works to create an environment of peace, harmony and acceptance. It's our only path to a future world that we'll all want to live in, and it has to start being the guiding force in our lives.
This year, my fourth Riverfest Elora, I experienced and captured images of thirty-three musical artists over the three-day festival. I hope you'll spend some time checking out the links below, checking out photos of your favourite artists, and checking out photos and music by some artists you've never heard of. Perhaps you'll find a new favourite.
Day 1: Friday
Day 2: Saturday
Day 3: Sunday
And if that wasn't enough for you, here are links to my coverage of Riverfest Elora from
2018,
2017 and
2016.
Thanks, as always, to the organizers, volunteers, vendors, artists and everyone else involved in making Riverfest Elora such a fun, must-attend and special experience each year.
Can't wait for 2020's Riverfest Elora.
