Wrap Up Party
A spectacular NL Party will take place at The Ship Pub on Thursday Oct 6, after the Festival MainStage! Newfoundland and Labrador is known for its traditional folk arts that have been preserved over many generations. Thursday's late night closing party will feature iconic Newfoundland artists showcasing acclaimed original works. The night will include Andy Jones performing Jiggs Dinner, a recitation of "I’m a Newfoundlander Baking Bread" by Dave Penney and a demonstration of the NL folk dance, Running the Goat. These performances are charming, warm-hearted and comical, prepare to be entertained by the unique culture of the province. Stay until the end and finish the night dancing with local world-beat sax band, Ouroboros. A night not to be missed!
