Summerfolk: Music, Friendship, and Lakefront Magic Await at Kelso Beach

This weekend, the shores of Georgian Bay will come alive with music, laughter, and community spirit as Kelso Beach in Owen Sound hosts a celebration not to be missed. The Sound Cafe will be there all weekend, soaking up the atmosphere, meeting artists, and sharing the experience with our readers.

Kelso Beach is the perfect setting for an event like this — the soft sand underfoot, the breeze off the bay, and the backdrop of Ontario’s stunning summer skies create a stage as beautiful as the performances themselves. But the magic doesn’t stop with the music. The artisan village will be brimming with local crafts, unique creations, and the warm smiles of makers eager to share their work. It’s the kind of place where you can find something handmade to treasure, and the person who made it will gladly tell you the story behind it.

Music lovers will find their hearts full here — whether it’s discovering a new favourite act or singing along to a familiar chorus with friends old and new. The joy of this gathering isn’t just in the performances, but in the connections it fosters. You’ll feel it in the friendly greetings from strangers who quickly become companions, in the shared laughter over a food truck snack, and in the collective cheer as the sun dips low and the stage lights glow brighter.

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect excuse to get out and enjoy summer at its best, this is it. Bring your friends, your family, or simply yourself — and prepare to be welcomed into a weekend of music, artistry, and friendship on one of Ontario’s most beautiful waterfronts.

You really should come along to Summerfolk and experience it for yourself. We’ll be there — will you?
