TURF - Toronto Urban Roots Fest

Okkervil River's Will Sheff on What "Writing for God" Really Means - Noisey We talked to the frontman at Toronto's TURF festival about his band's acclaimed new album 'Away' and how it's not as sad as you may think.

Noisey had a 7 year old review our festival and that wasn't even the best part about it. Find out what Beatrice had to say about TURF in the link below:

We Got a Seven-Year-Old to Review the Bands at TURF - Noisey Setting out to prove whether it really is the kid-friendliest festival in Toronto.

A big thank you to Blundstone Canada for their incredible donation of Blundstone boots and to those of you who participated in their Boot Toss contest this weekend at TURF; you raised over $2,000 for Alzheimer Society of Toronto's Music Project!

So many delicious food truck options to choose from at this year's TURF. Be sure to check them out, just like The Hives did 😎

Happy day 2 of TURF! Mother Nature is being a bit uncooperative at the moment with our request of an all sun weekend, but rain or shine, the show will go on!
Gates are now open and Lee Harvey Osmond will be kicking off day two on the East Stage shortly!

Don't forget to enter Blundstone Canada's great contest in support of a great cause while at TURF!

As an official sponsor of TURF - Toronto Urban Roots Fest we'll have lots of fun things going on down at Fort York National Historic Site - like our legendary Boot Toss in support of Alzheimer Society of Toronto! Hope to see you there!
