Lights, camera, action.
It's showtime in Kelwood. The Harvest Sun Music Festival runs from Friday to Sunday, and what a weekend it's set to be.
Nadia Kuhl says it'll be a weekend to remember.
"It's really great, we are almost sold out," said Kuhl. "Preparations have been going amazingly. Everything is ready. It's going to be a lovely weekend in Kelwood."
The festival begins on Friday night, with doors opening at the Kelwood Community Hall at 5:30.
"We've been running the Boom Chuck Old Time Music Camp, so the students have been attending camp for the last two days," said Kuhl. "The festival kicks off with a recital with the students. We then have an incredible night of music."
The evening performers include 2 Dollar Bill & His Bad Pennies, Claire Therese & The Lockdown, and The Stanley Country Cut Ups. The party then heads to the Legion at 10:00 p.m. for a bluegrass jam.
On Saturday, the party continues in the campground, and no tickets are required. Folk & Flow starts at 9:00 and continues throughout the day. Kayla Luky takes the stage at 2:30.
"Great local performers from 9:00 to 4:00," said Kuhl. "Then we have a little break before we head to the hall on Saturday evening. We have some more great entertainment there. Including a local band from Onanole called Route 10 Collective."
Jimmie Kilpatrick and The VinceTones take over the Legion at 10:00 p.m., and tickets are required. On Sunday, there's a jam in the garden hosted by Ian Porteous. You can bring an instrument to join or just enjoy the show. That's from 11:00 to 1:00.
That'll officially put a wrap on the 2025 edition of the Harvest Sun Music Festival.
If you've never been to the festival, Kuhl says it's one you won't want to miss.
"We've been running it for 20 years. We can hardly believe this is the 20th anniversary. We're so excited that our little arts organization has been able to sustain itself through a lot of challenges, particularly in the past five or six years," ended Kuhl. "We're so excited that there is still all of this life and music happening in Kelwood after 20 years. It's been a lot of hard work and we're happy to celebrate getting here."
For this weekend's entire schedule, head to the Harvest Sun Music Festival.
