2023 Annual Mariposa Folk (Music) Festival - Orillia

Ten stages, 50 performers/groups over three days of music (Friday:  around noon-midnight; Sat and Sunday from around 11:00 to midnight).  Last year, camping for the Festival sold out in mid-March and I suspect that it will sell out even sooner since many people missed out.  Festival camping is from Thursday 9:00 a.m. to Monday noon at Tudhope Park right beside the waterfront and  festival.  In our spare time, most of us will bring bicycles and cycle on the many trails or roadways (downtown is about 2 kilometres away along the waterfront trail), or bring canoes/kayaks and paddle along Lake Couchiching, leaving our cars parked for the weekend.

Buy your weekend tickets by December 31^st.  This is close to the price of a one-day pass!  Tickets go up as the festival gets closer, and on January 1^st they go up an extra $25.  Many of us have been going to this festival for years, and I'd expect that there will be about 15 of us (it may not reflect on the sign-up page).

Weekend Tickets – full festival (Early Bird before January 1) - $155.00,  (age 25 and up/person) – includes HST.  Pricing is cheaper for under 25's, youth and under 12's are free) -- This is a very family friendly event.
