Live, outdoor concerts are making a return to Sarnia's Canatara Park this summer. The Revelree Music Festival is scheduled for July 22 and 23.
Festival Director Scott Palko is very excited and said it'll be a great event.
"Live music is just such an important part of people gathering and being together, and with COVID we haven't had the chance to do that," said Palko. "Not only are we excited for the event to be happening, but to be able to get people back together and share that experience of being out with great weather together with great music and a good vibe."

Friday night’s focus on up-and-coming bands includes local artists Hayden Mellon, Bad Men Association, and Cory James Mitchell Band, as well as Thunder Bay rockers The Honest Heart Collective and one more act to be named in the coming weeks.
Saturday's lineup features Sarnia’s own Donovan Woods, Canadian artists Blue Rodeo, Big Wreck, Bedouin Soundclash and Texas King as well as American favourites Red Wanting Blue.
"The intent is to have some bands that people will recognize and the other ones, if they haven't heard of them, they're excited to hear some new music and come out," said Palko. "At least there's a lot of cross-genre there. We just wanted to find some live performers that wanted to be on stage and put on a great show."
General admission tickets for the 19-plus event are $20 for Friday, $89 for Saturday or $99 for a weekend pass. VIP tickets are $40 for Friday, $129 for Saturday or $149 for a weekend pass.
