Mariposa Folk Festival
About Mariposa Folk Festival
Mariposa Folk Festival is a music celebration established in 1961 in Orillia, Ontario. It was held in Orillia for a long time before being restricted due to aggravations by celebration goers. In the wake of being held in different places in Ontario for a couple of decades, it came back to Orillia in 2000. Ruth Jones, her significant other Dr. Crawford Jones, sibling David Major and Pete McGarvey sorted out the principal Mariposa Folk Festival in August 1961. The debut occasion, secured by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, highlighted every single Canadian entertainer.
The celebration developed in ubiquity, size and unruliness until the prominence of the 1963 celebration with more than 8,000 development tickets sold, and the absence of adequate security, prompted a reaction from town local people. The city of Orillia anchored a court directive to keep the celebration from proceeding in as far as possible. The primary celebration held in the Toronto territory, in 1964, was at Maple Leaf Stadium. The consequent three celebrations were held at Innis Lake in Caledon, northwest of the city. In the 1970s it was hung on the Toronto Islands before moving to Harbourfront Toronto and Bathurst Street and later Molson Park in Barrie. In 2000, the Mariposa Folk Festival was welcomed back to Orillia by city councilors Tim Lauer and Don Evans. The celebration keeps on being held in Orillia.
