2005 marks the 23rd season of the music festival sponsored by the Southwest Celtic Music Association. This year brought a enormous number of acts new to the festival. Too many in fact to all catch during the weekend much less 1 day. This year's theme is called "Bluegrass Has Green Roots". A notable percentage of the acts display a bluegrass influence and bring a refreshing feel this time around.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby
