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!
