When I get to speak to these 1st time local festival goers each year it really reveals to me the importance of the festival from a perspective of a local. It is not so much for revealing to outsiders and media people we've got things figured out and a great talented bunch of people who can do this in Montreal. It reminds the locals how important it is to have this in our city for them to enjoy too and that we can enjoy it all year round. It shows them the talent of the local organizers, music industry, and wonderful venues and attitude our city has towards cultural events that is unique perspective and setting that most cities would die for.
Check it out - Here's a breif run down of what's to come shortly that is a sure "not to miss" for people looking for something new or the music junkie still needing a fix.
