The Saskatoon Reggae and World Music Festival is growing every year, with increasing numbers of fans, participants, and a high level of musicianship. Along with local dance troupes who shimmy and shook to tapes sounds and a world champion Native American traditional hoop dancer, the line from top to bottom was Juno Award winner Mikey Dangerous from Montreal, local champ (and led by the festival's creator/producer/man-about-town) the Oral Fuentes Band, and also currently Saskatoon based The Jim Balfour Reggae Band .

Below are just a few of the pix I took during the night.
