The music blew hot and cool, just the way the fans at the annual Islands Folk Festival like it.
And the weather did, too.
The fans sought the shade when the sun blazed last weekend, and came out into the open again when Providence Farm cooled off a little.
It was the 34th time music lovers have gathered at the iconic farm in the shadow of Mt. Tzouhalem, enjoying performances on several stages, including the big Islands Stage, where every evening wound up the headline acts.
But there was also plenty to hear on the Spirit Stage, behind the main building, which is shaded by a big oak tree, the Tzouhalem Stage up at the top of the property, amidst the nursery plants, in the Rose Garden, and also in the basement, where workshops were held.
