BURLINGTON, ON

Sound of Music Festival will be donating $5 from every Kick Off ticket sold between May 26 to June 1, 2018, to support British Columbia and New Brunswick Flood Appeal via Canadian Red Cross.

With flood levels in areas of British Columbia at their highest level in 70 years and no sign of receding, and the record-setting flood in New Brunswick impacting thousands of people, Sound of Music Festival has made a commitment to help the Canadian Red Cross deliver immediate and long-lasting relief for those affected.

Bands are packing up their gear and heading for Burlington.

The Kick Off program is as follows:

Kick Off weekend will be held on Saturday, June 9th and Sunday, June 10th with gates opening at 1:00 pm on both days, show ending at 11:00 pm on Saturday and 9:30 pm on Sunday.

That red light was a sign - Sound of Music didn't get the $37,000 they felt they needed as fall back money if the weather turned on them and events had to be cancelled. Note that the pier in this 2011 picture isn't visible because there was nothing to see. The city plans on offocially opening the pier during the Sound of Music festival this summer. SOM should charge the city a fee for horming in on theior event.

The entrance to the Sound of Music events – what it looked like before the pier was completed.

The free Father’s Day weekend concert lineup takes to the stages June 14 – 17.

Why wouldn’t the SOMF do the same for our local food bank? Or Local Goodwill, or other local community organizations that support those in need? The money is raised here and should stay here. Doesn’t make sense.
