阅读理解。

     For five days, Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to

share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves. Since its beginning in 1980,

the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating (纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is

all about and that's the traditional togetherness (友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and

feelings through song.

     This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People

coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation," Riedel said. "It's really east to relax,

and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends come from all different

kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This

festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.

     With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it

can to make attendees feel as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue (举办地) for

people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is

returned when the plate is brought back.

     The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van

Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it's easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during

the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up

area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes

after the gates close.

     The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special

donation fund (基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug.8.
