Bluesfest Bails Out Folk Festival

In what amounts to a friendly takeover, Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest has bailed out the financially troubled Ottawa Folk Festival.

The Ottawa Citizen has learned that the surprise move, instigated by Ottawa Bluesfest executive and artistic director Mark Monahan, pictured here, may mean that the Folk Festival may be moving from it’s present location.

I think this is great news for Ottawa and the Folk Festival. Mark has turned Bluesfest into a world class event that is enjoyed by tens of thousands of people every summer. With the FolkFest under its umbrella, it can only get better!
