Folk Fest Happy

Sunny skies, live music, and the chillest of vibes.

In honour of the #WFF2017 pre-sale tickets going on sale MONDAY MORNING, we found ourselves scouring the #FolkFestHappy hashtag and reliving our favourite week of the year.

Good luck reading this post and not dreaming of warmer festivals days for the rest of winter. Only 222 days 'til #WFF2017, folks! We'll see ya there.

The chill days at Little Stage in the Forest.

The wristbands that stay on (dirty and worn) until next year's fest.

The familiar cool and quirky characters.
