Folk Festival on the Canal

Hi Montreal folk fans,

Only a few days left before our big festival and we are looking forward to greeting you for some great music, food and beverages.  If you purchased passes online, rest assured that your tickets will be available at the main gate the day of the festival.  Just bring a proof of purchase or piece of identification and your all set.  We never sent passes out in the mail to keep costs down and to avoid having to charge you services and postage fees.  It’s a win win for everybody.  Can’t wait to see you there!  Carl, Dave and Matt.
