Creekside Music Festival is Back!

We are thrilled to be hosting Creekside Music Festival for our 5th year, Friday September 6th – Sunday September 8th!

A record crowd attended last year and it was a huge success!  Many newcomers joined us along with the dedicated “Creeksiders” who have attended every year.  We were pleased to once again have representation from our community organizations who were able to get some donations toward their cause.  A huge thank you to the Apsley Legion for always keeping the grounds meticulous throughout the weekend!  Thank you to all for your continued support!

Our mission for Creekside Music Festival has always been: to create a family-friendly and inclusive weekend to bring people together in celebration of community and music along the banks of Eels Creek.  We will offer entertaining and live performances and provide space for artisans, food vendors, local businesses and community organizations.  We are dedicated to making a positive impact on our town of Apsley and surrounding communities.  Proceeds will be donated to local charities.

Last year we were happy to donate to the JumpStart program.  This year’s proceeds will go to Roter’s Reach Mental Health Awareness in memory of a dear friend.

This year promises to be an even bigger event with so many talented bands to entertain all ages. Our lineup will not disappoint!  We are thrilled to announce that DWAYNE GRETZKY will be returning due to popular demand from last year!  Also joining the line up will be EPIC EAGLES– a fantastic Eagles cover band.  Friday and Saturday you will be entertained by Dalesy, Melissa Payne and The Hicks, The Weber Brothers, Nicholas Campbell, Tyler Cochrane, Caitlin O’Connor from Blue Hazel, Mason Moxley, Stephanie Dauncey and Double Trouble, Leverage for Mountains, Kris Barclay and more to be announced. In addition to Friday and Saturday, we will be welcoming Nephton Ridge Runners to host an open mic on Sunday September 8th from 11am-2pm.

The event starts Friday September 6th at 4pm. We are located at 10027 Hwy 28, Apsley along  beautiful Eels Creek.  Parking is at the North Kawartha Community Center with busing every 5-10 minutes. Camping spots for the weekend are limited.
