In this episode of The Maker’s Collective Podcast you’ll meet Tim, a retired music teacher and jazz musician turned festival creator. He may be retired, but in his words he’s “busier than ever!”. It was such a delight to chat with him about his Belmont Village Bestival and everything that has happened behind the scenes to make this dream a reality. Supporting community events, like the Bestival, is so important and we hope this episode helps open your eyes to the talent we have in Kitchener-Waterloo. It’s electric, and we have people like Tim to thank for recognizing it, finding it, and creating space for it. Enjoy!
