In conjunction with Local Service Club who will be handling the beer tent on the beach

Staged from a place rich in history of an era were Coal Yards, Trains and Lake Vessel's fashioned lives of hard working people, striving to carve out an existence from Land or Lake

A previous era filled with both happy and difficult times which tended to bond a community during leisure or festive occasions with Music, Food and Drink!

With this same spirit or "joy de vive" we invite you to sample and participate in our love of

"Musical, Libational and Culinary Blues"

Fashioned musically to other major Blues and BBQ's events staged in major city's both in Canada and USA

None offer the out in the country feel of Beach-Blanket-Blues as presented on the beaches of this little Port on the warm waters of Lake Erie!

"If you don't want to dance in front of the stage then lay on the beach and soak up the last of the summer's sun during the labor day week-end as the sounds and festival atmosphere engulf the village on the lake..."

"Bring a Bathing Suit (bikini) and Blanket or Chair"
