1050: Folk Fest 2017
Since 1980, children in Edmonton have been forced to attend the annual Edmonton Folk Festival with their family. As they age, they gain Folk Fest survival skills such as begging for used food plates and estimating a safe number of deep fried Oreos to eat without throwing up. After high school, they spend all of their time standing in the massive line up for the beer gardens. The Folk Fest cycle is complete when they become those weird aunts and uncles who drag children of bed at 5 a.m. to catch the tarp lottery. Witness them all below.
