Emergency year 1...

In the summer of 2014 Sault Ste. Marie saw a few major summer events come to an end because of lack of funding, seeing it as an opportunity as well as an emergency, local event organizers sought to change this situation.

Stephen Alexander owner of Loplops Lounge and his team decided a street festival was in order. This one day festival saw local and touring acts perform on Queen St. on multiple stages, and was free for the public to attend. The weather was perfect, and the event was a success.

Fast forward 1 year later...

Now in its second year, the festival is hoping to expand its reach within the community. This year’s event will feature touring and local bands on multiple stages, an art display courtesy of The Sault Ste. Marie Arts Council, vendors, and activities for the whole family.

This one day event will be held from 12pm-9pm August 15th, 2015. Featuring free stages, as well as a licensed ticketed area.

Lineup is still being added to but it's looking good…
