24th annual Dockside Festival of the Arts

The 24th Annual Dockside Festival of the Arts will be held at Gravenhurst’s Muskoka Wharf Special Events Field from Friday, August 14th to Sunday, August 16th, 2015.Over the past few years, Dockside Festival has gained a reputation as an extremely popular arts and crafts festival in Muskoka. Fresh and innovative approaches have increased its visibility, both to the visitors and the vendors who make the show such a success. And now a new vision and creative branding is taking the calibre of this event to even greater heights.Dockside Festival of the Arts is an opportunity for people to explore handmade products, while enjoying gourmet food and live music all weekend long. And, of course, its location on the scenic shores at Gravenhurst’s Wharf doesn’t hurt. Dockside Festival is a real testament to the spirit and character of an arts and crafts festival, while staying true to its descriptive name.

This year will include some additions that will enhance the experience further. Sawdust City Brewing Company, a longtime partner with a new brew house in Gravenhurst, has signed on this year as the Food and Music Lounge sponsor. They will showcase new and innovative craft beer while entertaining Dockside Festival’s customers with the ever-growing gypsy punk and jazz rock genre of music. Juno nominated, The Lost Fingers have just confirmed their appearance again this year on Sunday, August 16th at 1pm, while a multitude of other live musical entertainers will keep the mood lively throughout the weekend.

The food is good … no, it’s actually great! Dockside Festival’s organizers are working diligently to ensure that the food is just as distinctive as the artwork itself. From cranberry maple sausages, to sweet and savory tunnel twists, you won’t leave this event hungry. Freshly squeezed lemonade and juice smoothies are also on the refreshment menu, alongside Sawdust City’s craft beer. And don’t forget to taste the flavours of Wine Country Ontario as well.

Rain or shine, come and enjoy the sounds of inimitable live music, the flavours of epicurean food, and shop to your heart’s content.
