🚨 Summer in the Kawarthas Kicks off in just 2 WEEKS!!
☀️ For the past five years, our community has marked the official start of summer with one legendary lakeside party. On Saturday, June 27th, the tradition continues with the 5th Annual Oyster & BBQ Food & Music Festival!!!
🔊 If you’ve been looking for that one “don’t-miss” summer event that keeps the kids completely entertained while you enjoy excellent food, hit the beer and wine tents, and take in all the incredible live music; this is the weekend you’ve been waiting for.
We’ve leveled up the family fun this year to make our 5th anniversary the best one yet!
🏰 For the Kids (And yes, 12 & under get in FREE!):
Let them burn off all that post-school energy in the bouncy castle, enjoy complimentary face painting, and grab a scoop from the Central Smith Ice Cream station. It’s the ultimate kid-approved Saturday.
🔥 For the Foodies:
It wouldn’t be a Lodge tradition without world-class, award-winning BBQ from the Dr J’s pop-up and the heat from No Refund Hot Sauce. And for the 5th year in a row, we are thrilled to welcome back 11X National and 2X World Oyster Shucking Champion Eamon Clark and his elite team, returning to shuck fresh P.E.I. Oysters!
🎵 For the Music Lovers:
We’ve lined up 4 incredible live music acts to rock the lakeside stage from noon until 9:00 PM!
