Ottawa Folk Festival
Britannia Park - Friday, August 21, 2009
The Ottawa Folk Festival is going plastic water bottle free! In an effort to reduce waste and encourage people to drink City water, no bottled water will be sold on-site this year. Instead, they’re asking that you bring a water bottle or purchase a groovy Folk Festival stainless steel bottle, and use the refill stations at the festival site.
Ottawa Riverkeeper is a proud Environmental Partner of the Ottawa Folk Festival
