It's Just An Ordinary Day (Bluesfest 2013)

Friday night we went to see Great Big Sea at Bluesfest. Last summer although Snoop Dogg was in the lineup Jay and I didn't end up going so this year we decided we couldn't miss it! Bluesfest is a 10 day festival of live shows, 4 stages, lots of vendors and only about 20 minutes away from our house. Though called Bluesfest there is actually a variety of music everyday. For my birthday Jay gave me tickets to see Great Big Sea, whom we had heard were amazing live and they did not disappoint. 

We took lots of pictures, so rather than bore you with words I'll get straight to it! 



In front of one of the smaller stages, enjoying some free ice cream samples! We also won some free pepsi and a granola bar! I love free stuff. 




Where we watched the Canada Day fireworks, a totally different view this time around! 


Playing rockstar, I also got the last pair of free wayfarers at the RBC tent, awesome! I hid my free green TD sunglasses before we went to the tent, figured that wouldn't help my chances. 


I think I squealed when we found Lone Star amongst the food vendors, sure it would have been great to try something new but that's really not me. I insisted we get two orders of chips and salsa (definitely one order too many) and have a mini picnic while we waited for Great Big Sea. 





The screen's were huge and made it easy to see everything happening on stage, though we had a reasonable view of the stage from where we were standing. 


If you ever have the opportunity to see Great Big Sea live, take it! I always wondered if the hype around their live shows was true, and they far exceeded my expectations. Such a high energy fun show, we were dancing, clapping and singing along the whole time.

Hope your weekend included something fun, new and exciting! 

 Keep Smiling :)
