Blue Skies Music Festival 2023

August 4th to August 6th

 

Welcome to the official Blue Skies Music Festival website.

For over four decades magic has happened for one weekend a year on a very special piece of Ontario wilderness near Clarendon, Ontario.

Like Brigadoon, Blue Skies Music Festival springs forth on the August long weekend. Then just as quickly disappears for another year. 

Blue Skies is one of a very small number of completely volunteer-run festivals. Every facet of the festival's operation is performed by volunteers, from booking the acts to cleaning the loos.

If that isn't magic, what is?

50 Years of Blue Skies

Getting Ready for Blue Skies 50th.

Let the banjos blare and the bagpipes bluster. Blue Skies is going to reach its 50th birthday in just a few years.

Our Golden Anniversary is roaring down the track and it’s time to hop on board. We’re already thinking about ways to celebrate this milestone. Ideas are being tossed around including thoughts about books, thoughts about movies and thoughts about what other thoughts we might think.

We know for sure we’ll be looking for your stories and memories to share. And art-works, and poems, and songs, and photographs. We also need folks who are willing to help get this all underway. Whatever you can bring is exactly what we need.

If you’d like to help in any way, please e-mail us at 50years@blueskiesmusicfestival.ca

New and exciting ideas are also encouraged.

Let’s really whoop up a storm to celebrate our upcoming 50 years of music and community.
