FORGE FEST 2020

Hey friends! Are you ready for the third installment for Forge Fest? Once again we will be taking over downtown Tillsonburg, Ontario with 40+ bands, artists & comedians. Once again wristbands will only be $20. Once again all proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Associations of Oxford! Mark down Saturday July 25th 2020 on your calendar and get ready for us to outdo last year!

2019 Summary: It’s been a week since the festival and we are still feeling the positive vibes from Forge Fest 2019. First off let’s get the exciting news out of the way…. after covering all festival expenses we are able to make a donation of $3676.26 to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Oxford! This wouldn’t have happened without the amazing attendees, bands, artists, comedians, venues, volunteers and sponsors. We’re strong as individuals but if we work together as a team with the goal of bettering our community then we can do anything! In no particular order big thank you and high fives to all the performers that graced the Forge Fest stages this year. (A World In Pictures, Anubis, B.A. Johnston, Bird, Bike Thiefs, Billy Gibbons, Brent Jackson, Brenton Wilcox, Courtney De Decker, Cuda Highway, Eons Away, Fate's Got A Driver, Filthy Kitty, Forever Young's, From Waves To Shore, Glass Human, Glasslvng, The Homeless Gospel Choir, Huskie, Jaclyn Van Happen, Jesse Stewart, Mike Desj, Johnny & The G-Rays, Josh Rutter, The Lexington Cure, Marcy & Taylor, Megan Colley, The Moore Ave Underground, Rebel Cell, Redcoat, Seas, Small Town Leeches, Stompin' Del Schott, Quills, Zephler, Shawn Michael James Hughes, Mitch Gladney, Wally Warwick, Pat Tiffin, Ashley Grace, Gabe Koury & Jackson) All the participating venues including the wonderful owners & staff of Sammy Krenshaw’s, Boston Pizza, The Copper Mug, The Cup & Cake, The Station Arts Centre & Kelsey’s.
