In November of 2021, the Muskoka Music Festival was selected by the Gravenhurst Chamber of Commerce to be the new owners and operators of the legacy event Dockside Festival of the Arts. Miranda saw this as the perfect opportunity to integrate music in a significant way into the already popular artisan village and celebrate the past and future of Gravenhurst down by the wharf as well as downtown. Operating Dockside, which has been running for over 25 years, and Muskoka Music Festival as sister festivals will make the third week of August the crown jewel of summer in Muskoka.
This year, while you are experiencing the amazing vendors at the Dockside Festival of the Arts, the Muskoka Music Festival Tent will feature workshops and performances from Caroline Marie Brooks, Hayley Stark, I, The Mountain, James Gray, Jim Bryson, Lydia Persaud, Matthew Barber, Mimi O’Bonsawin, Roslyn Witter, Section 53, Shawna Caspi, Steve Poltz, Tak Arikushi, Tania Joy and Zeegwon Shilling.
The weekend will wrap up on Sunday evening with Muskoka Music Festival closing out the 2022 Music on the Barge series with performances from Fred Schulz, The Heavyweights Brass Band, Alex Pangman & The Sweet Hots, and The Devin Cuddy Band. A tradition for over 50 years, beautiful Gull Lake Rotary Park has played host to Gravenhurst’s Music on the Barge program offering a variety of live concerts each Sunday evening from mid-June to the end of August.
