April 1, 2021 - We need to give our healthcare workers and front-line workers a collective pat on the back. They are all working hard, bringing an end to the pandemic.

However, it takes time to move a mountain as big as COVID-19. As we continue through autumn and winter festival season, many festivals are postponed, cancelled, or going online.

These festivals are worth the wait. Our goal is to ignite your passion to actively connect through music, food, arts and culture. Tag @FestivalSeekers #FestivalSeekers on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram to be featured.
