We took the weekend and drove up to Courtenay (just over an hour from the Gabriola Ferry) for the Vancouver Island Musicfest. 3 days, 55 performers, 6 stages, 27 craft booths, 21 food booths – all spread out over the Comox Valley fairgrounds alongside the Tsolum River, so well organized, such beautiful weather – it was a fantastic event! The performers included Los Lobos, Arlo Guthrie, Steven Page of The Barenaked Ladies, Leon and Eric Bibb, Jim Byrnes and so many others that we were unfamiliar with, but really enjoyed. This event is considered “the largest destination music event on Vancouver Island and one of the Top 25 outdoor festivals in North America”.
