A weekend of music in pictures (11 photos)

David Wilcox, Sass Jordan, and Michel Pagliaro draw huge crowds on first two days of the Stars and Thunder festival

Strong crowds filled Hollinger Park on the opening weekend of the city's eight-day Stars and Thunder festival. 

Saturday marked St. Jean Baptiste Day and featured an all-Francophone musical lineup headlined by Quebec legend Michel Pagliaro. 

Sunday was a little chillier, but crowds were bigger for a lineup which included David Wilcox and Sass Jordan.

The festival now shifts into weekday mode with gates opening at 2 p.m., and entertainment beginning at 4pm. Monday's lineup has Beverley Mahood, who emceed the weekend shows, kicking things off followed by J.J. Shiplett, Joel Plaskett, and Tom Cochrane with Red Rider.
