Festival

[edit]

The festival site in Mackin Park includes a main stage tent where mostly Canadian folk, Celtic, and world music artists perform. There is also a children's stage, a workshop tent, art and history displays, tours of the Mackin House Museum, and traditional food including tourtière, poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, maple taffy, and maple sugar pies.[3]

The "Festival du Bois headgear" is a green tuque embossed with a frog.[4]

Over 17,000 people attended Festival du Bois in 2008, and was recognized as one of the "biggest festivals and cultural events in Metro Vancouver" by Business in Vancouver magazine.[5]
