Mariposa : celebrating Canadian folk music : 1970
Out and about : artists at the festival
An exciting element of the outdoor concert is the mingling of artists with audience. In 1970 a group of musicians led a parade through Centre Island to the main stage, while with a group dance saw performers, Mariposa staff and festival-goers participating together. Gordon Lightfoot didn't perform in 1970 but he attended nonetheless, while Michael Cooney and Joni Mitchell took in a few concerts themselves (David Rea and Doug Kershaw's respectively).
