August is an exciting time to be in St. John’s, Newfoundland. Let’s see, you’ve got George Street Fest, the Folk Festival in Bannerman Park, the Downtown Busker Festival, Shed Island, HOLD FAST and even more that I am probably forgetting, or maybe haven’t heard of

Swamp magic is a special intoxicant available only at SappyFest. It’s the type of magic produced when you take one of the best curated festivals in Canada, put it in one of New Brunswick’s most picturesque towns, and hold it every year on one of the best weekends of the summer.
Shifty Bits Circus kicks off in Fredericton, St. John’s & Halifax Pride celebrations reach their closing events, Shed Island parties like it’s 2013 with a “super rare reunion show”, Spoken Word St. John’s turns two, and Branch Ricky step out of a brief hiatus for a single summer gig.
Spoken Word St. John’s is celebrating its 2-year anniversary this Sunday, and you can be a part of the poetry party. Join them at 7:30 PM @ The Ship Pub.
