A reflection of the quality of people in a town might be seen in the ambition and achievements of its citizenry in the realm of public activities. In this small town of 11,000 people a yearly festival features three days of entertainment in the form of famous musicians, crafts, midway rides, and Scottish dances at venues throughout the downtown.
The main park features the traditional beer garden and café where the signature Pork Roast Dinner (Schwein and Wine) is served on opening night.
The main stage is located in a park near the heart of town.
Where the acts play a variety of music – some folk tunes – many from the Canadian maritimes
The park is short parade distance for the oldest “non-military” pipe band in North America. (100 years old this year)
Past the stage with the dancing Scottish lasses.
And also past a mini amusement ride midway featuring some true antiques . . . .
– all kept in good order and well appreciated by children.
.
The Canterbury Folk Festival is held every year in the second week of July in Ingersoll, Ontario with the support of hundreds of local volunteers.
