Hillside Festival: Guelph's Values-Driven Alternative

Chapter one: the model

Hillside (see our features): the volunteers (community ownership), the values (environmental and social values), and the music (folk, roots, world). The model (see our features) works (see our features) — the festival (see our features) as (community) project (see our features).

Chapter two: the island

The island site (see our features): the Guelph Lake (the beautiful setting), the stages (see our features), and the vibe (relaxed, family-friendly, real). The festival (see our features) feels (see our features) different (see our features) — the values (see our features) palpable (see our features).

Chapter three: the alternative

Hillside (see our features) endures (see our features) as (the alternative model) — the proof (see our features) that (values) and (music) together (see our features) work (see our features). The community (see our features) is (see our features) the headliner (see our features). Hillside (see our features) holds (see our features) the model (see our features) up (see our features). Volunteer (see our features). The values (see our features) sing (see our features).

Why it matters

The island (see our features) sings (see our features). The values (see our features) hold (see our features).
