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.

I haven’t seen The Mighty Mighty Bosstones since a show at The Opera House about 13 or 14 years ago. It was a great show, although singer Dicky Barrett was fighting through a sore throat, and I loved seeing the band perform and hearing their ska-punk tunes live.

I had to wait until the final day of Riverfest Elora to see the band again. They started off with one of my favourites, “Rascal King”. It was so good to hear their brand of ska after so many years.

I loved it and it was such a positive vibe to end off this wonderful edition of this amazing festival.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn’t want to let the band have their full set time. The organizers had to call it off just after 10 o'clock due to incoming weather. They broke the news to us and then launched into their closing track of “The Impression that I Get”. They didn’t get to even finish that, since they had to cut off the mains before the song was over. The band continued on and played out the remainder of the tune with the audience just hearing stage sound. You have to keep people safe, so shutting down was what they had to do with the incoming electrical storm.

All of my Riverfest Elora 2019 posts can be accessed from one master post here. I hope you'll take a look and a listen.

Here’s some of the Bosstones’ music:

"The Impression That I Get"

"Rascal King"

"Kinder Words"

"Simmer Down"
