The 42nd edition of the Calgary Folk fest is different this year, due to COVID-19. Limited to 15 percent of its normal capacity, the distanced event was less busy and bustling as the performers, organizers and audience took extra precautions. However, the music was alive and well lending to a thoroughly enjoyable late afternoon and evening. Summer Serenades started Thursday, July 22 and runs until Wednesday, July, 28 at Princes’ Island Park.
