We’re back inside and drying out from a soggy weekend at Summerfolk 49 at Kelso Beach at Nawash Park.

Visit their Facebook page for highlights and behind-the-scenes updates from this past weekend, including an interview with Lennie Gallant, video from Kobo Town’s Saturday night ‘Down by the Bay’ dance party, Summersoak singalongs in the rain, a (very talented) man in a kilt sweeping flood waters, and a whole lot more.

You’ll feel almost like you were there! But warmer and drier.

Yes, it always rains, but we keep going back. The Georgian Bay Folk Society draws musicians and music lovers from all over the world together right here in our town.

We can’t wait to see what they have in store for Summerfolk’s Big 5-0 in 2025.
