The inaugural Moon Dance Festival, originally scheduled to take place in Quebec on the weekend of August 18th, has been cancelled. The organizer cites difficulties in securing land, a lack of support, and certain other concerns. There is a chance Deviant Species (the original headliner) will return in the fall for a one-night indoor event to make up for it.

With Moon Dance no longer taking place, the remainder of the summer season in Eastern Canada is wide open (excepting, of course, next weekend’s Eclipse Festival). If anyone was thinking of hosting something in late August, this is a golden opportunity to step in and make it happen.

Update: Bonni is holding a small outdoor event on crown land amusingly titled “Faeries Gone Wild” that same weekend. Details can be found on the Psyfreaks forum. The Peterborough-based collective has also stepped in to host a small festival in Ontario called Ignition on the August 24th weekend.
