This week we are checking out the Tiny Lights Festival that will be held in Ymir, BC from June 7-9th, 2019. The playlist of performers has a few familiar artists and a lot of new artists for us to discover. By the sounds of the playlist, it will be a fabulous weekend of music. Below is some excerpts from their website.
Ymir is a town with a rich history involving natural resource extraction, focusing on mining and forestry. In 1899, Ymir had eleven hotels, a bank, post office, one church, P. Burns & Co., butchers, a newspaper, school grades 1 to 10, a police station, a jail, blacksmith shop, mine recording office, physician and surgeon, plumber, barber, mining engineer and assayer, undertaker, two hardware stores, justice of the peace, notary public, mining broker and others. The population at this time, was 800. But the area surrounding and serviced by the town contained another 400, at the least.
At the festival we will be celebrating our history in many ways!
Our festival is unlike any other, with 7 historic venues running for three days with over 100 performances. Tiny Lights allows you to see top notch performers in small intimate venues. This is where magic happens for performers and audiences. Our Artistic Director has described it as a “…whole town house concert.” and a …”choose your own adventure festival”
Beyond musical performance and also included in the price of your ticket are many hands-on workshops for adults and children, spoken word, theatre and film. There is something for everyone all weekend long.
Take a listen to the playlist below and you might just want to add this festival to your plans.
Thanks for the Tiny Lights Festival suggestion Morgana.
Thanks for the playlist Dar.
Good day all.
Hello everyone
Good Morning!
You are welcome Scott! Thanks for checking it out.
What festivals are you planning on going to this summer?
I don’t think I will be at any festivals this year but I am keeping my eyes open for live music near to where I will be staying during my London trip at the end of June
I hope something fantastic happens to fall in place!
The cursor disappearing in the text box if I take too long to type is kind of annoying. As is the having to put in my name and email each time. Can I change that somehow on my end?
I don’t think I’ve ever been to a music festival. There is something to be said for live music and the thrill of being part of the group, but I prefer to listen from the comfort of my living room or cab of the car / truck. That said next weekend I will be going to see the King Edward Choir. I probably make it to two or three concerts in a year.

@DBS,
the only thing I can think of is to log in with your admin account or allow third-party cookies for this site
have you tried double-clicking on the account boxes to see if they autofill?
as for the cursor vanishing, I think that is a side effect of the comment refreshing regularly
@Garf – On my laptop it is signed in with the admin account and stays logged in. At work I am not logged in that way. I am not sure I even remember how to at this point. Ha! If I get annoyed enough I will look into it. It is the refreshing thing. It could wait a little longer for me to think before it refreshes. :p
Autofill helps me put the name and email in, so it isn’t too terrible.
Scott, I get the comfort of home thing but I do love live music experiences. The King Edward Choir concert looks interesting. Enjoy it!

Well that was easy. :p
Moontricks are on the playlist and have an album out today. I am really liking them.

I think that is one that I liked, It takes me a few times through to hear everything as I get up & leave my desk off & on.
I also like the Corwin Fox tune that was on the list
Putting the playlist together, there was quite a few I was enjoying. It does work with multiple listens.
Have a great weekend!
