Filberg Festival

Today they had a Summer Market, many booths with beautiful handmade items.
To my surprise if found Denman Island tea booth, tried a glass of iced Raspberry Rhapsody.
Purchased a bag of tea to enjoy at home.
Many other beautiful items too.
Along with a few round teaspoons from the gift shop.
Filberg is the perfect way to spend a hot muggy Sunday afternoon, with cool ocean breeze, browsing and enjoying all the views, nature or gifts.

It was a very relaxed place. I definately loved the service of park and ride!

As we have many times in the past, my husband & I drove to Comox from Victoria to support the B. C. Artisans. This year, we were shocked, being told that the entry fee was $30.00 each. Also, we had to park in a remote area where we were charged for leaving our vehicle. It seems that the "Gauge-flation that has plagued our world since the Pandemic has reached the Filberg Festival. Consumer beware!

If you live on the island, or are lucky enough to visit during this festival date, it is a NOT to be missed! Unbelievable value for the ticket price. Wander the 140+ artisan vendors, sit with great food from the variety of food trucks - and tap your foot or sing along to no less than 2 constantly rotating sound stages. Fabulous! One of my annual pilgrimages.

Great place to see some art his weekend. Take a look at booth 13. All new hats.

We went to Filberg Summer Kitchen for a 5 course meal. We didn't go to the Festival.
The food was amazing to taste and the plating was very artful. The restaurant will reopen in May for a normal menu. We can't wait for that to happen. The chef Mark comes up with some very interesting ways of preparing and presenting food.
