Wawa Music Festival Arrives

Wawa will be full of music this weekend, as the annual Wawa Music Festival arrives.

Festival Chair Matthew Morrison and Vice Chair Dawn Charbonneau note many artists and bands will be performing today and tomorrow, with a variety of musical styles.

Charbonneau says the festival starts with a special opening ceremony at 3 this afternoon.

Charbonneau notes the dedication of the stage recognizes the inspiration for the festival, her late brother, with a banner to be set up at the stage in his honour.

In addition to music through the weekend, tomorrow will see an "Arts on the Lake" community event - not requiring wristbands - along with the Goose Nest Artisan Market - full details on the schedule can be found on the festival's Facebook page or at wawamusicfestival.ca

Weekend passes are currently available at the Legion, Lakeview, and Thrift Barn, though day passes will also be available at the venues.

Volunteers are also wanted - contact Christine Rask via Facebook or email chrisrask@shaw.ca
