Shuttle Bus Updates for Mariposa Folk Festival 2024........
We have made several changes to the shuttle buses for 2024 to improve the service, increase ridership, and therefore have a positive impact on the environment.......
- Doubled the number of buses so wait times will be reduced, particularly during the peak times
- Shuttle stop at the festival will be on Atherley Road (north side, beside Tudhope Park). As a result, buses will not have to navigate through the congested entrance to the park or turnaround at the curling rink. This should speed up the continuous loop.
- Brian Orser parking lot is unavailable this summer due to construction at the arena, so it is being replaced by the Orillia Recreation Centre
- Additional downtown shuttle running on Friday 10am to 3pm, continuous loop between the festival and downtown Orillia. This shuttle will give early arriving campers (and others) a chance to head downtown to see the free downtown stage and vintage market - thanks to our partners at the Downtown Orillia BIA. The stage will run from 1-5pm and will give folks a preview taste of the festival.......
Shuttle bus details and routes are available on our website here

Ben Caplan is both the roar of the hurricane and the eye of the storm. He has an uncanny ability to channel both wild abandon and quiet introspection. His songwriting pulls from many diverse influences, but both his music and his lyrics regularly draw from his Jewish heritage. Often mixing biblical imagery and klezmer inflected melodies, Caplan re-appropriates ancient sounds and themes with a decidedly contemporary twist.

Don't miss seeing Ben Caplan live at this year's Mariposa Folk Festival.
