BURLINGTON, ON
A week and a bit away and the public will get to see what MRG Live is going to produce for their first Lakeshore Music & Arts Festival.
The Festival is replacing what we knew as the Sound of Music.
It has been an awkward process for many.
MRG Live is a private for profit company that has event in a number of communities. They are very strong in British Columbia. They are not local in the way that Sound of Music was; this is not a home grown event. It is going to take time for them to figure out how the Burlington market can be made to work for the them and for Burlington to get used to an organization that is here to make a profit.
Making enough to cover costs proved not to be possible for the Sound of Music people and the city decided it didn’t want to continue subsidizing them.
MRG Live sets out what will appear on the two stages during the 20th and 21st of June.
No entrance fee. Gates open at
Saturday June 20th. from 11am-10:30pm
Sunday June 21st. from 11am-9:30pm
