BEST OF ALL… THE MUSIC

As usual, City Folk is sporting a great line up (click here) this year, and a little something for the kids too.

Fred Penner himself will take the stage at 5:30 on Saturday and 3:00 on Sunday which has me just as excited as my daughter!! For ticket information click here. Children under 10 do not need a ticket when accompanied by a parent, however, please note, not all shows are suitable for all ages.

Don't forget to check out Marvest, it runs September 16th and 17th in The Glebe and businesses along Bank Street, showing off some of the local music talent and supporting our great City. Most Marvest shows are FREE! Saturday afternoon shows will be family friendly as well. For a full listing click here.
