Thanks go out to our volunteers coming from other organizations. Groups can send one or more volunteers to help out with gate and kitchen duties for example. The festival will do its best to try to promote your group and help you connect with other like-minded organizations. Your group can bring a display and info to the festival. We will mention your org between sets from the stage. Run a workshop. We are looking to partner with groups that are focused on sustainability and community.
Our focus this year is sustainable regional agriculture. Eat local!
Although the stage shows were great last year a huge part of the weekend was spent circling around a campfire and sharing music the old fashioned way. This year we have booked acts for a new River and Sky feature called: The Campfire Sets.

On Friday July 16th The Wilderness of Manitoba and The Mountains and the Trees will play after midnight, beside the river, beside a fire at River and Sky. We have not picked a spot quite yet . . . maybe on the island, maybe beside the bread ovens, maybe by the bend in the river. Just like always we'll play the night out until the break of day. We'll have more acts to announce for The Campfire Sets soon.
If you are in Sudbury, come out tonight (June 5th) to The Laughing Buddha and The Townehouse Tavern to support River and Sky . . . one big camping trip for us all. Please show your support and buy a weekend pass for $70 ($10 off the gate price) or membership for $100. We'll be passing the hat at The Buddha and charging a $5.00 cover at The T-House. There will $2 posters for sale and we'll be taking orders for prints. Eat Local Sudbury will be joining us. This year River and Sky is trying to promote and clue into the local/regional sustainable food scene. Plus - we'll have great live music from 4pm - 2am.
NOTE: We had a great time and a successful fundraiser! Thanks to everyone that made it out. Thanks to everyone who pinched in with the help.
