The Music
Friday is a late night affair,,, music starts at 7:30 and goes until 10:45 Saturday is an early one: music starts in the afternoon at 1:30 and goes until 7:00. Sunday the music is also a nice afternoon experience, with music starting at 11:00 and going until 5:00.
Bring a lawn chair and park yourself at the stage. Dance if the music compels you. It is a relatively casual event, not hard to find a place to put your chairs, and there are food trucks standing by so you can park yourself and grab some eats.
The Beer Garden is off to the side a bit. Close enough to hear the band and enjoy a bevie or two while you listen. There are tables and chairs in the beer garden. You can also bring a lawn chair in there to sit in if you wish.
This year’s line up features Bad Medicine / Bon Jovi Tribute, Rev/ Up ~ AC/DC Tribute, Totally Twain – Canada’s #1 Shania Twain Tribute, Gordon Lightfoot Tribute/ More to come in next few weeks,
2024 Line-up included Barracuda (Heart & Led Zeppelin Tribute), Eagle Eyes (Eagles Tribute), Shania Twain Tribute, and Forever Young (Neil Young Tribute). Local favourite, The Jon BOS Band will perform Saturday night.
