“10th and final?” The Festival is over?

The Nordic Roots Festival will be taking a break after 2008. Beginning in the Fall of 2009, The Cedar will produce a world music festival focused on a different musical region each year. Eventually we will cycle back to the Nordic countries...so this isn't the final NRF, but the culmination of a ten-year run.
