Riverfest Elora 2022: A compendium of posts - Concert Photos

The fine folks at Riverfest Elora mentioned that it's been 1,097 days since Riverfest 2019. How awesome was that festival? It was in the before-times, when we thought we had a lot to worry about, but we didn't even have a clue what was coming. *sigh*

I was so happy to have Riverfest Elora back in full form for 2022! The lineup was fantastic and it was so good to be back in Elora, back in Bissell Park, getting to hear music coming from these beloved stages and getting to hang out with friends I haven't seen since the last Riverfest.

While many things were the same, there were some changes this year. We got upgraded lights for the Koop and Grassland Stages. Awesome! And there was one significant absence in the food vendors this year; there was no mac n' cheese and pulled pork. I loved it and was looking forward to this special treat I only get at Riverfest. Maybe next year.

You can get to my coverage of each individual act I witnessed this year through the hyperlinks below. Each post has photos, a few words of thoughts on the band and some of their music.

Hope you enjoy!

Riverfest Elora 2022: My Son the Hurricane - Concert Photos

I had heard good things about Niagara's My Son the Hurricane but I hadn't experienced them live. And what an experience it was! This band has amazing energy, and anyone who's read my ramblings for a while knows that I'm a sucker for a horn section, and My Son the Hurricane has quite the horn section!

I think everyone at the festival headed over to the Grasslands Stage for this fun set. It was a challenge getting up to the front to take some photos! You can see from the photos that they had the crowd in rapt attention; vibing, dancing and cheering along.

Links to all my Riverfest Elora 2022 coverage can be found in one post right here. There's a post for each artist I captured this year.

Here's some My Son the Hurricane music:
