Festival season keeps rolling. The Empty Standards play both Rainbow Trout and Harvest Sun fests this weekend.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Friday August 17 – Sunday August 19<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just east of Riding Mountain National Park and just west of the farming community of Kelwood, MB, a beauty of a summer festival is taking place this weekend. The annual Harvest Sun Music Festival<\/a> is set in a beautiful location and offers two days and three nights of top notch roots and rock music. With Hillbilly Highway favourites The Magnificent Sevens<\/a> and Romi Mayes & Jay Nowicki<\/a> rocking Friday night, the fest really gets off to a great start. Winnipeg heroes Greg Macpherson<\/a>, the Empty Standards<\/a>, Ridley Bent<\/a>, the Sweet Alibi<\/a>, and Fred Penner<\/a> (!!!) playing throughout the weekend alongside local Riding Mountain area beauties like Logan McKillop, Murray Evans, and a whole lot more, this festival has it made. Weather forecast for the area looks good, folks, so why not head on out to Kelwood this weekend?<\/p>\n

Tickets are available here. <\/a>Adult weekend pass is $45, youth pass $35. Adult day pass for Friday is $15, Saturday & Sunday $25 each. Camping is available for an additional small fee. <\/em>-SB<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people don’t believe me when I tell them I’ve never been camping, even after I explain that my family just isn’t the ‘wilderness’ type. Barbecuing on the back porch is about the closest I’ve ever been to camping. But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t try! And although I can’t sneak away this weekend to do some of that real outdoorsy stuff, I highly recommend that you do. And really, what sounds more wildly and fun than a music festival\/fishing derby hybrid?? Well only one that’s got a super neat name like ‘Rainbow Trout Music Festival and Fishing Derby’! Included in the Friday-Saturday-Sunday fun is Jenny Berkel<\/a>, the Empty Standards, the Hoots<\/a>, Ultra Mega, Feed the Birds, Mise En Scene<\/a>, Pop Crimes, the Bokononists, Rob Crooks, Smoky Tiger, Mitten Claps, Ian La Rue, and more! The festival takes place in St. Malo, and passes range in price from $10 to $25, depending on the day. For more information, please check this<\/a> out. Here’s some directions<\/a> too! – VK<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
