Simcoe, ON…This year’s Lynn River Music & Arts Festival has a lot more music, arts, crafts, food and merchandise vendors, and family-related activities than ever before and they can’t wait to welcome you to Simcoe on the Civic Holiday Weekend (July 30-August 1, 2016) to enjoy all that is on offer!
 
Sponsored by The Rotary Club of Simcoe (Ontario), this Festival (in its 49th year, and  fondly remembered as Friendship Festival), retains many of the tried and true family traditions of yester-year.  But the new Lynn River Festival brings much more music & arts to the forefront!   “We have booked a stellar line-up of nationally & internationally recognized bands alongside many local and regional favourites”, said Festival Artistic Director Sara Moody Veldhuis.  “Lead by JUNO Award Winner TOMI SWICK, our lineup this year, more than any other, includes more bands (30+) and more musicians (150+), making music all weekend long!  And the best part?!  It’s all FREE to the public!” said Moody Veldhuis.  (Proceeds from this non-profit event benefit The Rotary Club of Simcoe, and dozens of other Service Clubs and community-based organizations, and their ongoing charitable fundraising throughout the year). 
 
 
 
Featuring an incredible Main Stage line-up at the Ramblin’ Road Brewery/Rotary Beer Gardens, there is also the Community Showcase Stage and the Youth Performer Stage featuring non-stop music over the 3 days.  New to the Festival this year will also be pop-up Buskers Stages and a Children’s Musical Merry-Maker parade out of the KidsZone, lead by The Great Spontini (local favourite Dan Fewings).
