Newfoundland and Labrador folk festivals

Here's a note from the tail end of a post I made to alt.music.s-mclachlan that I thought might be of interest here. This also went to rec.music.folk and other groups. Those on nf.general should comment on any great festivals that I didn't mention. The biggest folk festivals are the St. John's one (Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, with French theme this year), details on that at http://www.sjfac.nf.net Brimstone Head Folk Festival on Fogo Island, Conception Bay Folk Festival in Carbonear, Southern Shore Folk Festival on the Southern Avalon, Une Grande Viellie (spelling?) on The Port Au Port Peninsula, The Punters generally host a one day Bowring Park festival, The towns of Logy Bay, Outer Cove, and Torbay I think each have one day festivals with big acts, but there are probably a hundred more smaller community ones around the province, for example in Conception Bay other than the Carbonear one, Brigus and Holyrood and Conception Harbour all have smaller ones and that is just within a few miles. Oh wait, of course there is The Kelligrews Soiree as well (there is a Johnny Burke song called The Kelligrews Soiree ). Also there is a Conne River Powwow and I think a Labrador Bakeappple festival.
