Summerfolk 48 at Nawash Park comes to its traditional close.

 

Summerfolk 48 came to a close in the usual way: a fantastic headliner firing up the packed house for the Grand Finale, the festival's performers raising up the Mary Ellen Carter on the Stan Rogers Stage before the Piper leades them away, and then a final blow-out afterparty Down By The Bay.

The Hub was there too, and we'd like to share our weekend.
