For years our friend Manon has been telling us, “You have to come vend at Starbelly Jam .”
After never quite being able to make it work, this year we finally did... and we’re so glad we did.
What an incredible weekend.
From the drive and ferry ride over, to the beautiful scenery around Crawford Bay, every part of the trip was an adventure. We started our mornings with fresh baking (and that legendary breakfast sandwich) from the Red Door Bakery , watched our girls enjoy their very first camping trip, and ate our way through some amazing food trucks.
The whole festival had such a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. Everywhere you looked there were smiling faces, good conversations, great music, and people simply enjoying being together.
The music lineup was outstanding. Huge thanks to everyone who brought the stage to life, Angelique Francis , Dirtwire, Stickybuds, 𝕻𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖘 𝕻𝖎𝖈𝖐, waahli , and so many more. Every performance added something special to the weekend.
The craft area for the children and the annual Starbelly parade was the perfect way to wrap up the weekend, seeing everyone dressed up and having fun was something we’ll never forget.
Thank you to the fellow vendors for sharing the vibe of entreupenurenship and thank you for the lasting memories of this event.

And a special shoutout to our booth neighbour EricHolloway.Art , and Katelyn, you kept the good vibes flowing all weekend. Between the conversations, the laughs, and those hula hoop skills, you definitely made the weekend even more memorable.
