08/21/2022

The Muskoka Music Festival and Dockside Festival of the Arts, in conjunction with the town of Gravenhurst, have made the difficult decision to cancel Sunday’s Special Events Field by the Wharf due to the health and safety concerns in relation to the inclement weather and risk of thunderstorms and lightning in the area. While we are all disappointed to make this announcement, the safety of our patrons, artisans, musicians, volunteers, and all of our guests is the upmost concern and priority. We appreciate everyone’s support of this event as it returned to Gravenhurst this year, and we look forward to welcoming you all back to our beautiful town in 2023. Please stay tuned for more details about our upcoming events, and we can’t wait to see you next year.

We will assess the Music On The Barge show and let everyone know by 1pm Sunday afternoon. Thank you!
