The CBC Music Festival took place at Echo Beach in Toronto yesterday, and what a day it was. A packed CBC Kids' stage, a dance party with Ralph, fireworks (literally) from Walk Off the Earth — if you were able to attend, the day was full of good things.
But if you weren't able to attend — or would like to relive it — we've got you covered. Click on the gallery above for some photo highlights, and scroll down below for snippets of what went on. Our social media producer Monika Platek interviewed the festival artists all day in our Facebook Live booth, Scott Helman did an impromptu performance while walking around and we caught up with Serena Ryder backstage. Check it all out below.
