Here's the view of the mainstage.
The festival site has great views of downtown Edmonton

This poor old guy from Belize was so cold last night that he wore a hoody and gloves for his set.
Yesterday was cold and raining and miserable all day. I picked up my repaired bike (total cost 1.5MU), but then had to drive it all the way across town in the miserable wet conditions. Miraculously, the rain stopped about an hour before the festivities began for the evening, then the skies cleared, and then it got cold. Like low 40's cold! You could see the performers' breath on stage! But we're not fair-weather folkies! We braved the cold and had a good time. The highlight for me was Guy Clark, even though I think he'd had a few before he got onstage. Oscar Lopez, Baka Beyond, and Andy Palacio combined for a great session before the mainstage performances began.
Today, the Compadres are tops on my must-see list, along with Connie Kaldor, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and Mary Gauthier. This morning the skies are blue, and it looks good so far. Highs are projected around 70, with lows in the 40's again tonight.
