Great Big Sea is a Canadian band from Newfoundland that gives traditional folk songs, drinking songs, and sea shanties a modern rock treatment, in addition to doing original songs. Always an entertaining, high energy concert.

The Filene Center about 90 minutes before showtime.

Playing the Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts has become almost a summertime tradition. They say they’ve performed there either as guest or headliner since 1996.

The Ranger Station is just off to the left, outside of the main gate. It is open before the show and remains open throughout the concert. The passport stamp is located just inside, next to the guest book.

We had lawn seating and endured three heavy downpours. I feel like I definitely earned this stamp, and it was worth it.
