What a marvellous time was had at Mariposa 2022. It was a soulful gathering of friends and colleagues surrounded by trees, water, and such wonderful music, from Mavis Staples to Kathleen Edwards, from workshops to hikes, and lazy Sunday morning coming-downs. So good.
So good in fact they’re doing it again.
Mariposa Folk Foundation President Pam Carter said in a press release, “To further celebrate the return of live music to our area and provide another reason to visit Simcoe County, we have partnered with the county to present a unique outdoor afternoon festival.” Hear hear!!
An Autumn Mariposa will take place at Bayview Memorial Park, 9th Concession Road, Township of Oro-Medonte on Saturday, October 1, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature performances by four artists/groups: Aleksi Campagne, The Weather Station, Union Duke and Irish Mythen.
Later that evening Julian Taylor will perform at the Orillia Opera House. Also on the bill, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Aysanabee.
