After bad weather forced the abandonment of Friday’s Warm the Rocks, Folk on the Rocks was back to its best on Saturday with excited festival attendees and passionate bands.

Crowds rotated through the festival’s five stages with headliners Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Major Funk, Naduh and Godson bringing the festival’s energy back.

Here are some of our Saturday highlights.
