To each their own'd I had a great time at this festival. Perfect set up for a family fest, my 6 year old daughter had a tonne of fun. The beach was a plus and the water (no poo water here) was a refreshing bonus. The beer line always looked big but it moved along very well. Only one kind of beer though, with the organic nature of the vending they could have got some local craft breweries in there. I brought my own snacks so I didn't really try out any food, but I heard good things. Musically I enjoyed most of it. The Lanois and Harris sets being the best and grooviest in my mind. Sarah Harmer and Gord Downie were kind of 'meh' to me but other people surely enjoyed it. Ray sounded great, they definitely cranked his set up louder than the rest. I agree with others that he shouldn't have closed the fest but I suppose it was a good way to have people wind down before they leave and get into the traffic exiting. We left a few minutes early and beat the traffic. All in all, good times. Special thanks to my ride, good times during and after.
