Play La Bamba Baby! Las Cafeteras has the Edmonton crowd up and dancing, after a politically charged set, in which the Los Angeles based band called out Donald Trump and expressed solidarity with Canadians. #LasCafeteras #yegfest

A crowd of folk festival fans in summer wear sit down the side of a big grassy hill, a natural amphitheatre, watching a band on a big stage below. In the background, through the trees, the skyline of downtown Edmonton, across the river.

On Gallagher Hill this afternoon for the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. On stage now? Las Cafeteras. Sunny, breezy, and pretty much perfect. Thank you #yeg. #EFMF #yegfest #Edmonton

Things are K-popping at the Korean pavilion this afternoon! #yeg #Edmonton #EdmontonHeritageFestival #yegfest

We’ve seen some delightful performances, but the Azerbaijan community put on a particularly good show. #Edmonton #yegfest

Editor’s note: as this is my first summer on Bluesky, I should warn you that my beautiful Edmonton is transitioning into peak festival season - so brace yourself for a sharp spike in arts & culture content, as I show off and celebrate the best of the city I love. #yeg #Edmonton #yegfest
