Rain beads over the hood of the car as I depart for FeelsGood Folly Fest located in the Village of Gagetown,New Brunswick. As the skies open soaking the earth outside the car, my thoughts are on the music awaiting.
The fifth installment of this young festivial, which promotes a spectrum of live music and art,
fire spinning, an artisans market, PLUS the award winning craft beer Picaroons. Five stages comprised off different elemental vibes, primed to bring the noise.With the Folly Main stage, to the
incredibly inviting folk inspired Yippie stage, to the Courthouse with its old
timey' feel, the Fire stage and the Silent Storm stage, a converted barn-house
which housed the Silent Disco.














Folly Fest combines whimsical elements with musical bliss. With such acts as Wintersleep, Shad, The Goosepimp Orchestra , Grand Theft Bus, Scientists of Sound along with dozens others. A crazy Circus parade which grew as it traveled by the tent cities. I can't forget the award for best beard. and I will never find the words to describe the fire stage. Absolutely amazing as the majestic streams of fire flowed effortlessly around the performers captivating the audience.

From the volunteer staff which kept the grounds debris free, and watching the art flow from the artist's brush magic was created here.The feeling that FeelsGood Folly Fest provides is of an indescribable warmth. Even with the uncooperative weather the spirit of the festival prevailed giving each Folly Fest goer a piece of sunshine to take home.
