Buckingham Festival

Here’s a funny story…

I was listening to Malajube (a French band from Montreal) the other day and I decided to see if they were on tour anytime soon.  Sure enough, in July they will be going to Buckingham, Quebec.

I recognized the name Buckingham and couldn’t put my finger on where it was but I knew it was close to Ottawa.

When I told Vero I was interested in going to this festival, she thought Buckingham was close to Montreal.  I didn’t think so and she checked it out and said the place was about 40 kms away from Ottawa.

I didn’t think was too far at all and said it’s probably the equivalent of traveling from Orleans to Kanata.

Anyhow, I went onto the maps today and had a good laugh when I found out where Buckingham was in relation to me.

It’s right across the freaking Ottawa River near where I live!  And it turns out that five kilometres up the road in Cumberland, there is a ferry that travels 24 hours a day!

So I have a feeling I’ll be heading out to see this festival this summer as all other concerts I’ve tried going to this summer have been squashed due to scheduling.
