The 38th Annual Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival will
be held in Bowring Park in St. John's, Newfoundland
from August 8--10, 2014. (In 2015 it will return to
its usual home in Bannerman Park.)

The festival web page is http://www.nlfolk.com/fest2014/

I think bios of performers will be added soona
as will schedules for the smaller stages.
