Edwards as the headliner. That same stage — on Saturday evening — will feature former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page as the headliner, joined by Elliott Brood and Ashley McIsaac with openers Sarah Smith and Julian Taylor. John and Michele Law, who are the driving force behind the Kingsville Music Society, are happy to be able to bring such a large festival back to Kingsville. “We’re excited to get going,” says John. “This is an all-Canadian lineup.” The Laws have lined up several other acts besides the headliners and those acts will entertain at the free concerts on Saturday. “It’s a real variety of music,” adds Michele. Tickets for the main stage concerts are $40 each and you can buy a weekend pass for $75 (or $70 early bird), which gets you admission to both main stage concerts. Last year, the Kingsville Music Society was able to put on free concerts during the Kingsville Open Streets, and
this year they plan on doing the same with Open Streets on Saturdays and free concerts on other nights as well. They’ve also got concerts lined up during May and June at Pelee Island Winery with the ‘Rhythm of the World’ music series featuring African-Cuban act Okan on May 29 and Mexican music star Quique Escamilla on June 12.
