Folk Festival Set for Tomorrow

More than 10 hours of music will be flowing from Little Beaver Snow Park this week.

The first ever Fort Frances Folk Festival kicks off tomorrow afternoon.

Organizer Alex Marusyk says there are more than 25 acts set to play.

"There's a fellow by the name of J.P. Hoe, he will headline it," says Marusyk. "Opening for him will be the Auditor General from Thunder Bay. We also have a band from Kenora called the Me Monster and most several local performers."

Gates will open at 12 noon with opening ceremonies happening at around 12:30 p.m.
