What a waste. Horrible scheduling (elders on sunday? horrible cover band that was booked just because the band was Irish?), over-priced admission (10.00 for the honor of spending more money), The ridiculous token/coupon situation for buying drinks, and horrendously over-priced food. Seems every festival they try to do at Crown Center is a joke. Won’t be wasting my money again. SantaCaliGon was more fun than this.

I disagree completely with everything that man said. I thought the ‘Fes’ was extremely well organized, the $10 token entry encourages a great Family attendance. Compared to most festivals I’ve attended, the food & drink was very modestly & affordibly priced and the entertainment – God, it was great across the board. I attempted to see every act and was delighted with everything. I reckon it was a massive success -congratulations to the Organizers and I hope they bring back the same standard of event again next year – well done!
