Mill Race Festival 2015

The 23rd Annual Mill Race Festival of Traditional Folk Music takes place July 31 – August 2 2015, in the historic downtown core of Galt in Cambridge, Ontario. This free festival is patterned after European festivals whereby the day’s events are held on numerous outdoor stages in the town core. Traditional forms of folk music and dance are the festival’s theme, with emphasis placed upon the various cultures present in Cambridge and surrounding area. The festival runs Friday 7 – 11 p.m., Saturday 1 – 11 p.m., and Sunday 1 – 10 p.m. Admission is free. Check out the line-up below.

The showpiece is the stage at Mill Race Park which is wonderfully reminiscent of an Old World amphitheatre, formed from the ruins of an old stone textile mill on the banks of the Grand River. In addition, there is also the Civic Square Stage, the Children’s Stage, The Galt Room (second floor of Cafe 13) and The Royal Oak Pub Garden. Arts, crafts, and an excellent choice of food and refreshments are also available at the festival site and from the many fine eating establishments in downtown Cambridge.
