Another successful weekend at the 33rd annual Summerfolk Festival in Owen Sound.
Over 12 thousand people gathered at Kelso Beach Park for Summerfolk and the best in folk music, art and dance.
The three day festival wrapped up last night with a packed crowd for the finale and jam session.
Festival Chair, Brenda Scott says it was another great year as ticket sales up 10 per cent from last year.
She feels alot of their success has to do with the casual, yet professional atmosphere at Summerfolk.
Over 35 acts graced the stage this weekend, with performances from the Arrogant Worms, Harry Manx, and The Cottars.
Some local performers also took the stage, with music from Hayden Stewart from Oliphant and Tyler Firestone.
Richard Knechtel, Artistic Director for Summerfolk, says he wanted to get the audience more involved this year.
He says they added activities like jam sessions, song circles and Contra dance lessons to get the audience out of their seats and apart of the performance.
There were also more than 600 volunteers at this year’s Summerfolk Festival — who had to spend at least twelve hours working at Kelso Beach.
The festival also added tourist friendly activities such as wireless internet access provided by the Owen Sound Library and a Summerfolk shuttle to bring festival-goers to and from downtown.
