The community-oriented sixth annual Wallypalooza Music Festival hosted by Trillium Waldorf School will run this Saturday from 2 to 8:00pm at Fourfold Biodynamic Farm just north of Guelph and south of Elora and Fergus.
The festival consistently attracts families and music lovers to relax in a pastoral setting and enjoy an eclectic range of local, community music.
“We’re committed to supporting and celebrating local talent, as well as choosing locally sourced and produced foods to complement the musical offerings," said event coordinator, Vicky Rao.
Featuring the professional acts of Shannon Kingsbury and Friends, as well as Irish Celtic band The Dole Tinkers, the stage will also be filled by musically talented parents, teachers, and students of Trillium Waldorf School. The graduating grade 8 class in particular will be making a special performance for their last time together.
Storytelling and contra dancing are anticipated as extra features, while children’s activities will include tie-dying crafts, and face painting by an award-winning artist.
The entertainment will begin at 2pm with a professional bagpiper to lead a parade of children to the stage area. The event is open to the public and admission is a voluntary cash donation. Fourfold Farm is located at emergency number 7682 4th Line of Nichol.
The event takes place outdoors, rain or shine and guests are asked to bring chairs or blankets. For more event details and directions, visit www.wallypalooza.com, or contact Connie Watson at Trillium Waldorf School at 519-821-5140 or info@trilliumwaldorfschool.com.
