A beautiful summer day spent listening to #LiveMusic with friends (and a whole bunch of friendly music fans). An ideal end to a wonderful weekend! #HappyLife (189/365) @mktgqn
Couldn't properly articulate a realization last night.
It turns out that one of my favourite things about music festivals is only tangentially about music.

The festivals that most people consider the best are generally the ones that have variety in their line ups. Different genres and styles, yes, but also where artists are from and who they are (ie, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, age, etc.).
Sometimes it's the little things, the pilot projects & experiments that have the biggest city-building impact. In no particular order, here's a thread of #coollittlethings the City of #HamOnt did in 2017 ... and a shoutout to my staff who made them happen
1/ Special loading zones for musicians outside concert venues as part of our #MusicCity strategy #coollittlethings #hamont (thx to staff in Culture and Parking) 
2/ The "Mountain Climber" pilot project = free bus rides up the #NiagaraEscarpment for #cyclists #coollittlethings #hamont (thx to HSR and Transportation Planning staff)
