Riverfest Elora 2025: A compendium of posts - Concert Photos

Another Riverfest Elora is in the books. This 2025 edition, which marked the 15th edition of the festival, was fantastic. Not only is it the chillest and friendliest festival around, it features a wide range of musical talent, some of which are destined to be your new favourite bands, along with delicious food and drinks, artisans, merch and random art in an idillic setting. And, the rain restricted itself to an overnight storm this year.

Please click through the links below to check out photos of your favourite acts and to discover some new ones. I'll be basking in the glow of an amazing weekend of music and friends in Elora. It's one of my favourite summer events, and I'm already looking forward to next year.

Riverfest Elora 2025: Marcy Playground on the Grasslands Stage - Concert Photos

Marcy Playground closed out the Grasslands stage for the first night of the fifteenth edition of Riverfest Elora. They sounded great, and although I didn't hear them play it, I trust that they played an awesome rendition of "Sex and Candy".

All my posts from this year's Riverfest are all collected into one post here.
