Freedom Fest At The Farm A Success

 "A tentative success."


That from Organizer Sarah McAdam-Parker on FreedomFest at the Farm.

McAdam-Parker tells Tide News she wanted to throw a music festival in a place where there has never been one before - in Heathland.

She says countless live bands, DJ's, fire-spinners, painters, comedians, as well as a number of unique workshops like belly dancing and tye-dying took part in the festivities.

She says the 3 day event raised money for the Angel Fund at the St. Stephen Animal Hospital and Eco-Fredericton, with 40% of the weekend's profits going to each organization.

McAdam-Parker says the festival did as well as she hoped, with only a few technical glitches.


District 1 RCMP reports the event was well organized, and despite a traffic stop on the Heathland Road, there were no reports of impaired driving or problems related to the festival.
