Members of the Growing Circle Co-op recently took part in Nigwek, an outdoor festival in Charlottetown, PEI.
From the Nigwek website:
Nigwek (a Mi’kmaq word meaning "something good is growing from the Earth, or, a new organization is expanding") was an outdoor music festival held in downtown Charlottetown this summer 2009.
Nigwek is a day to celebrate the Island’s current organic agriculture, and a public exhibition for increased attention toward the necessity of PEI becoming more organic: In the interest of our health, our land preservation, and our Island’s prosperity.
Featuring both local and off-Island musical acts, the day-long concert/exhibition will also feature PEI organic farmers selling mini-snacks for purchase, and presenting from exhibit booths along the side of the street.
The weather was beautiful and the Growing Circle was pleased to be a part of Nigwek 2009.
We look forward to Nigwek 2010.
