THE MUSIC /ENTERTAINMENT
Festival Goers can expect to hear a wide variety of local, regional and touring acts this year! Ranging from the blues, to cabaret, funk, traditional and roots, to old time country, a sprinkle of blue grass, rock, and a healthy dash of R&B and soul! Our new memorial outdoor stage this year will feature theatrical performances, beginning with ‘A Superior Love Story’ which features multi disciplinary arts- music, dance, spoken word and live painting. Victoria’s belly dance performance and workshop is another attraction returning this year. The ‘Jamie Charbonneau Memorial Stage’ will feature youth performances, with local and regional artists performing throughout Saturday, July 22, at Lion’s Beach.
THE VENUES
Our 2 main stages are located inside the historic Lakeview Hotel in Woody’s Pub, and at the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 429; each a short walk apart on Broadway Avenue in downtown Wawa. Our 3rd stage is an open air venue located at Lion’s Beach, overlooking scenic Wawa Lake and just across the street from the Lakeview Hotel. ** YOU MUST BE 19+ TO ATTEND LICENSED EVENING EVENTS**
