2011 A Great Succuss!

The 2011 festival was among the most successful yet.  Attendance was up, vendor participation was up, sponsorships were up, and more musicians came than in previous years.  Ambiance was perfect; slick, modern, coherent, yet cozy and soft. Merchandise sold well, the musical line up was seamless and incredibly talented. The general feeling was mellow and happy, which made for a wonderful festival vibe.  All of this was accomplished because we had a phenomenal team that worked so well that even the birth of a new born babe did not derail us.  We celebrated instead!
Thanks to all of the festival sponsors, volunteers, on and off-island talent, and of course the festival patrons whose enjoyment makes it all worth while.



Thank-you Haida Gwaii Artists!

EOTW Festival 2011 will be dedicated to the memory of Bob Bullechuk who passed away suddenly in December 2010. Bob was a huge contributor to the arts scene on Haida Gwaii for many years. He was actively involved in our music festival for over 30 years (before it was even the present day Edge of The World Music Festival) as well as a regular performer with The Crabapple Creek Electric Jug Band at many island events.
