Mariposa Folk Festival is a music festival founded in 1961 in Orillia, Ontario. It was held in Orillia for three years before being banned because of disturbances by festival-goers.〔(The Canadian Encyclopedia, Mariposa Folk Festival" )〕 After being held in various places in Ontario for a few decades, it returned to Orillia in 2000. Ruth Jones, her husband Dr. Crawford Jones, brother David Major and Pete McGarvey organized the first Mariposa Folk Festival in August 1961. The inaugural event, covered by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, featured all Canadian performers. The first festival held in the Toronto area, in 1964, was at Maple Leaf Stadium. The subsequent three festivals were held at Innis Lake in Caledon northwest of the city. ==Festival timeline== The Mariposa Folk Festival has been held in these Ontario locations with these artistic directors:〔 * 1961 – 64, Oval Park, Orillia; Ted Schaefer. * 1964, Maple Leaf Stadium, Toronto; * 1965 – 67, Innis Lake, Caledon; * 1968 – 79, Centre Island, Toronto; * 1980 – 81, ''no festival'' * 1982, Harbourfront, Toronto; * 1984 – 91, Molson Park, Barrie; * 1992 – Ontario Place, Toronto; * 1993 - 1995, Olympic Island & Downtown, Toronto; * 1996, Annie Williams Park, Bracebridge, and Victoria Park, Cobourg;〔("Greening the Mariposa Folk Festival" ), ''Orillia Packet'', 11 July 2009〕 * 1997, Annie Williams Park, Bracebridge; * 1999, Parkdale, Toronto; * 2000 - 2014, Tudhope Park, Orillia Artistic directors: * 1961, Ted Schaefer * 1964 – 77, Estelle Klein * 1978, Ken Whiteley * 1979, Estelle Klein * 1982, Tim Harrison * 1984, Michael Cooney * 1985, Ian Bell * 1986, Rick Bauer * 1987 – 88, Drago Maleiner * 1989, Richard Flohil * Present, Mike Hill In addition, over the years there have been some alternative concerts and festivals, splinter groups, sub-festivals, and spin-offs, 〔 such as Mariposa-in-the-City in Toronto in 2000. 〔"Tonight in T.O.", ''The Toronto Star'', 22 June 2000〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mariposa Folk Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
