Revelree returns to Canatara Park this weekend

Thousands will descend on Sarnia's Canatara Park this weekend for the Revelree Music Festival.

It's taking place Friday and Saturday.

Organizer Scott Palko said they're giving back to the community through the event.

"We specifically this year partnered with the Bluewater Health Foundation," said Palko. "We're doing a digital 50-50 online right now at Revelree5050.com, and the pot is up over $6,700. Funds go toward some work being done on our local cancer care clinic. We also support Sarnia Taekwondo, Pathways and Bluewater Cheer."

The Goo Goo Dolls headline Friday night, alongside The Trews, Teigen Gayse, Loviet, and Avalon Stone.

Saturday will mark the debut of country at Revelree, with Brett Young, Gavin DeGraw, The Castellows, Buck Twenty and Strange Times.

Palko said The Trews always love coming to Sarnia, as they've been here numerous times in the past.

"Sarnia is very good to them, they love playing here and they're very excited to be back," said Palko. "The crowds in Sarnia absolutely love them and the Trews love playing for them."

Palko said chairs are allowed in the VIP section.

"It's a little bit of an added benefit," he said. "We've got a designated chair area. Bring your lawn chair out, and you can put it down and enjoy the whole night."

Tickets to the all ages event can be purchased at www.revelreemusicfestival.com/.
