These events are complimented by workshops available to the visitor during the scheduled programming. The focus of this annual event is on the residents and relatives of Manitoulin Island, with an opportunity to meet people who live elsewhere, but who vacation here and even call Manitoulin their home away from home. The controlled accessibility is established by having local off-season school buses act as a shuttlebus system running continuously to site. Due to the present situation with the lack of accommodations the visitors will have tenting and parking made available to them with the shuttle free to assist them to the festival site. The future of this event will be determined by the success of each annual event and with the proper planning and control, we will be working towards future annual events as each year unfolds.
Music makes our daily lives more meaningful.
Music may not be able to change the world, But it can help us to make the attempt. Working together, we will make sure that all the venues be more memorable for the visitor. The process that we have learned as co-ordinators is that how well we succeed in making an event work is very much dependent on how well we are able to integrate with the communities for which it has been created. By formally bringing these venues on-line, we will give to all who take part and believe an opportunity to fully enjoy The 6th Annual Western Manitoulin Folk's Fair .
