Organizers of the the long-running Mariposa Folk Festival in Ontario have announced the first batch of artists in this year’s line-up.
Barenaked Ladies, Bruce Cockburn and Matt Andersen are scheduled to perform at the festival, which runs July 7 to 9 at Tudhope Park in Orillia.
The Mariposa Folk Festival, which was founded in 1961, will also present The Last Waltz - A Musical Celebration of The Band - Live. An “all-star” group of musicians will pay tribute to the legendary Canadian band that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Festival artistic director Mike Hill said in a statement that he’ll be making “dozens more exciting announcements over the coming days and weeks.”
