Family, intimacy strengths for third Bear Creek Folk Festival
There may be a fresh line-up for the third annual Bear Creek Folk Festival (BCFF), but the same cozy family friendly atmosphere isn’t new for the Muskoseepi Park event.
Emerson Drive, Dallas Green of City and Colour, and Colin James are some of the performers that were announced Friday following a performance by Freddy and Francine at the Grande Prairie Live Theatre.
“We are presenting a very similar format as we have in the last couple of years. It just works so well,” said Festival Producer Sarah Card. “We have the mainstage performances at night and then the workshops during the day which are the ‘in the round sessions’. Those, in my opinion, are the meat of the festival because you get to see all the artists that are playing the main stage, in a much more intimate setting.”
Each performer plays at least twice over the weekend with at least one of those in an up-close-and-personal way.
