A curated selection of local Muskoka artists and artisans, showing and selling their work in sheltered tents, along a private winding forest path, surrounded by a cathedral of trees in a mixture of shade and sun. There are many places to sit, spread out on a picnic blanket and set up lawn chairs. All attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic and lawn chair and water bottles. There will be musical performances throughout the day, a curated program of professional Canadian singer-songwriters. In our first year, we have hired Grainne Ryan from Stouffville to perform as well as manage the stage and MC the event. There are outdoor washroom facilities as well as a hand sanitization station. There is an outdoor faucet with hot and cold running water. We will also have a room temperature water bottle filling station on site, bring your own ice! All Covid safety protocols will be in effect, including sanitizing, masks for designated vendor areas and social distancing in picnic areas.
