Festivals

Ola conquered Osheaga for the first time during the civic holiday weekend (from July 31 to August 3, 2015) at Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The annual music and arts festival celebrated its 10th anniversary with utmost girth by bringing out some of the most internationally-renowed artists. Amidst the chaos of waiting in long line-ups, running from stage to stage, sore feet, expensive beer and sneaking in to the VIP media area, the park’s natural, tranquil setting offset all to make for a truly rewarding and memorable experience. In this photo essay, you’ll find some of the moments Ola captured throughout her coverage with BanTOR Radio.
