<td valign="top">After 10 unforgettable years, <strong>Muskoka Music Festival</strong> takes its final bow at the iconic Gravenhurst Opera House on Saturday, August 22, 2026. The evening will feature seven-time JUNO Award winner <strong>Serena Ryder</strong>, and special guest and acclaimed festival favourite, <strong>Mimi O&#8217;Bonsawin</strong>. Tickets are 50% sold and are available at <a title="https://us.list-manage.com/FbpbbbDXusA?e=8d67fa7c54&amp;c2id=727851f020a27fcfe03141270eb6eb2e" href="https://us.list-manage.com/FbpbbbDXusA?e=8d67fa7c54&amp;c2id=727851f020a27fcfe03141270eb6eb2e" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="2">www.muskokamusicfestival.com</a>.</p>
<p>Ten years ago, festival founder and artistic director <strong>Miranda Mulholland</strong> had an idea about what a music festival in Muskoka could be: intimate, artist-led, and rooted in her family&#8217;s history in Gravenhurst. A decade later, Mulholland is deeply proud of what Muskoka Music Festival became, and of every artist, audience member, and collaborator who has shaped it along the way.</p>
<p>The festival grew and changed every year. The venues shifted, the programming evolved, the team around it expanded, but the heart of it stayed exactly where it started. Even through the pandemic, when so much of the entertainment industry went quiet, Mulholland and her team found a way to keep going and to hire artists to do what they do best, in partnership with Muskoka Drive In.</p>
<p>&#8220;This summer, we&#8217;re marking our tenth anniversary with two extraordinary artists: <strong>Serena Ryder</strong> and <strong>Mimi O&#8217;Bonsawin</strong>. It&#8217;s a lineup that feels like a love letter to everything MMF has stood for &#8211; world class homegrown performers singing songs on the Opera House stage in my beloved Gravenhurst,&#8221; Mulholland shares. &#8220;The Opera House holds a particular meaning for me. My great-great-grandfather, Charles Mickle, built it 125 years ago when he was mayor of Gravenhurst. To stand on that stage as MMF&#8217;s artistic director, in a building my family helped bring into being, is something I still find hard to put into words. A century and a quarter on, the room is still bringing people together to celebrate arts and culture.&#8221;</td>

<td valign="top">&#8220;Ten years felt like the right arc for this chapter. A decade of summers, a decade of music, and a chance to close with the kind of night I&#8217;ll remember for the rest of my life,&#8221; Mulholland shares. &#8220;Look at all the incredible artists we&#8217;ve welcomed to Gravenhurst! There&#8217;s something fitting about closing this chapter in the building where, in a sense, it all began long before any of us were here to imagine it.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is an invitation to join in the celebration. Whether attendees have been part of the festival since its very first summer or are discovering MMF for the first time, all are welcome. &#8220;Ten years is worth marking properly,&#8221; Mulholland continues, &#8220;and I can&#8217;t wait to celebrate with everyone at the Opera House on August 22, 2026.&#8221; It will be especially memorable as while Mulholland is closing this chapter, she is also opening a new one and getting married over the festival weekend.</td>

<h3>Serena Ryder</h3>
<p>Toronto-based vocal powerhouse Serena Ryder is a platinum-selling artist adored by fans, peers and critics alike, in part due to her raw and earnest songwriting, and beautifully electric live performances. She has won seven prestigious JUNO Awards, including the 2022 Adult Contemporary Album of the Year for her record <em>The Art of Falling Apart</em>, which invites listeners to join her mental wellness journey and helps us understand the importance of sitting with the uncomfortable moments and the wisdom in their messages.</p>
<p>Serena has a unique ability to cross genres – from pop, to folk and roots, to Christmas and children’s music. Her diverse catalogue has earned her several accolades, including Canada’s Walk of Fame Allan Slaight Music Impact Honour, the Margaret Trudeau Mental Health Advocacy Award, a Canada Folk Music Award and Canadian Screen Award for Achievement in Music–Original Song.</p>
<p>Serena is a mental-wellness advocate who has shared her own story of depression and neuro-divergency publicly, and speaks across the country to thousands of people each year. Her song “What I Wouldn’t Do” was reimagined for Kids Help Phone’s Feel Out Loud 2023 campaign — the largest mental health campaign in Canadian history. Serena also works with emerging musicians and industry professionals through her ArtHaus Community non profit, helping them develop creative, entrepreneurial and wellness skills needed to thrive in today’s music and media landscape.</td>

<h3><strong>Mimi O&#8217;Bonsawin</strong></h3>
<p>Mimi O&#8217;Bonsawin (Pronounced: MEE-MEE O-BON-SA-WIN) is a contemporary roots singer-songwriter born in Northeastern Ontario. She is French Canadian &amp; W8banaki (Abénaki), a member of the Odanak First Nation. Through her rhythm and story-driven songs, Mimi’s music embraces the beauty of the land. The ethereal quality of her sound whisks you away with uplifting melodies and introspective lyrics, weaving pop sensibilities with acoustic instrumentation. Layers of percussion and unexpected harmonies make you feel the music rather than just hear it.</p>
<p>As both artist and gardener, Mimi draws a deep connection between the two practices: “Making music and growing food are very much the same. They both start with a seed and, with proper care, can grow into a beautiful garden that we all can share.”</p>
<p>In May 2025, Mimi was awarded Solo Artist of the Year at the Trille Or Awards and toured Australia, performing at the Woodford and Cygnet Folk Festivals. She is currently prepping for the release of a new album in 2026.</p>
<p>Mimi performs as a duo with her husband, Ryan Schurman, on drums and percussion, creating an intimate yet uplifting experience. Together, they invite audiences into their universe with a full-band sound that inspires dancing, singing, and joy. Reaching new audiences at home and abroad, Mimi stays true to this: “Music is medicine… it is something we all share. It is our garden.”</td>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dragonfly Theatre Company, The Huntsville Theatre Company (HTC) and Theatre Muskoka are excited to co-produce the hysterical comedy ‘But Why Bump Off Barnaby?’</p>
<p>‘But Why Bump Off Barnaby?’ is a murder mystery farce at its most hilarious directed by Emma Phillips. When an eccentric family gathers at Marlgate Manor, the evening takes a sinister turn indeed! The race is on to find the killer. The only problem? The clues and motives make absolutely no sense to anyone. While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people are implicated, stories are questioned and pure mayhem follows. To find out who committed the crime, you’ll just have to come and see the show for yourself!</p>
<p>“This is an exceptionally silly play, fun and fast paced. It is the perfect piece to just sit back and let yourself be immersed in laughter,” says director Emma Phillips, “We have gathered some of the best local actors and crafted a stunning backdrop and beautiful period costumes. It took 20 years to bring this play to the stage, and we’re thrilled to bring this theatrical experience to the community”.</p>
<p>The cast of local performers includes Earl Sacrey, James Currie, Beth Bussotti, Rachel Thompson, Allen Hutchings, Fritz Ruttan, Nancy Jamieson, Shaman Johann, Rachel Walker-Brown and Lauren Rodrigues.</p>
<p>‘But Why Bump Off Barnaby?’ will take place at the Rene M Caisse Memorial Theatre (100 Clearbrook Trail, Bracebridge) from May 6<sup>th</sup>-9<sup>th</sup> at 7:30pm with a 2:30pm matinee also on May 9th. Tickets are $30 for general audience, with a discount for groups of 10+ and HTC members. They can be purchased at theatremuskoka.ca.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="x_MsoNormal">The Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) returns for its 34th summer season with an exciting lineup of concerts, art, comedy, and community celebration. As Muskoka’s largest multi-arts festival, HfA invites everyone to experience a summer filled with music, connection, and creativity.<b></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">This year’s theme—<b>“The Arts Are In Our Nature”</b>—invites audiences and visitors to explore and discover their own creative spirit through inspiring performances and shared artistic moments.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">From concerts to lakeside movie nights, the 2026 season is bursting with opportunities for audiences of all ages and backgrounds to shine.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Returning favourites include legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Jim Cuddy (2 shows), the enchanting Holly Cole, acclaimed comedian Ron James, Canadian icon Steven Page, country legends The Good Brothers, and the return of William Prince, bringing his signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and country gospel.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Audiences can revisit iconic albums with <i>Classic Albums Live: Hotel California</i>. Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live recreates legendary records live—note for note, cut for cut—with world-class musicians. CHOIR! CHOIR! CHOIR! returns for two epic sing-along shows celebrating the hits of the ’80s and ’90s. Additional tribute highlights include <i>The Last Waltz</i> (The Band), <i>Oh So Sweet</i> (Gordon Lightfoot), and <i>Whiskey Jack</i> (Stompin’ Tom Connors).</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The season also showcases outstanding Canadian talent, including the eclectic Rheostatics, Celtic fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, maritime troubadour Adam Baldwin, and Toronto indie legends Lowest of the Low, celebrating the 35th anniversary of their seminal album <i>Shakespeare My Butt</i>.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Programming continues to include unique venues. Hillside Farm will host <i>MORE BARN!: The Music of Neil Young</i> for two nights, spearheaded by local favourite Tobin Spring, as well as a performance by multi-JUNO Award-winning banjo player Kaia Kater.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Classical music lovers can look forward to the return of The Elmer Iseler Singers, joined by Vancouver’s renowned Bergmann Piano Duo for a dynamic program including selections from <i>West Side Story</i>. In August, local pianist Kyung-A Lee returns with a stunning candlelight concert celebrating iconic film music.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">History and storytelling take centre stage with the return of <i>Tom Thomson’s Wake</i>, a musical exploring the life and mysterious death of the famed Canadian artist. Legendary broadcaster Alan Cross will also present an engaging talk featuring stories from his career and insights into the evolution of modern music.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Comedy fans can enjoy Yuk Yuk’s On Tour at Canvas Brewing, while the Cottage Country Drag Festival returns with a vibrant showcase featuring the Spice Queens, Karamilk, and performers from Muskoka’s drag community. For families, <i>Dogs Do Magic</i> promises an unforgettable mix of magic, comedy, and canine hijinks.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The festival also features a wide range of community events. <i>Nuit Blanche North</i> returns as a one-night, multi-arts street festival transforming downtown Huntsville. <i>Movie on the Docks</i> offers a unique boat-in cinema experience, with films projected on a double-sided screen for audiences on land and water.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">On June 21, HfA will celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day at River Mill Park, featuring performances and activities that honour Indigenous culture and heritage. Canada Day celebrations include the 2026 Canoe Mural Project, where graffiti artists reinterpret the works of Tom Thomson on canoes.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Additional highlights include the Huntsville ART CRAWL (June 1–August 30), and <i>Dancing on the Docks</i>, a free weekly event featuring live music and dance instruction every Thursday evening.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">HfA will also partner with ISKCON Muskoka to present a free concert with Delhi 2 Dublin at River Mill Park, featuring food, family-friendly activities, and a Bhangra dance class ahead of the performance.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">“The theme of our summer season is The Arts Are In Our Nature” says Dan Watson, Executive Director of Huntsville Festival of the Arts. </span><span lang="EN-CA">“We hope our season invites artists and audiences alike to reflect on importance of the arts—within themselves, in their community, and in the beauty of this place we call home.</span><span lang="EN-CA">.</span><span lang="EN-CA">”</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Tickets go on sale to the general public on <b>May 5 at 10:00 AM</b>. Early access is available starting <b>April 22</b> through the “Friend of the Festival” membership, which also includes a 15% discount on Festival shows and additional perks.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Writers, this is your moment. Registration is now open for the 2026 Muskoka Novel Marathon, a one-of-a-kind creative challenge that pushes you to write a novel in just 72 hours – while helping raise funds for adult literacy.</p>
<p>By signing up for the marathon, happening Thursday, July 16 to Sunday, July 19,<br />
2026, at the Port Sydney Community Hall and online via Zoom, you will also help<br />
celebrate the nonprofit event’s 25th anniversary.</p>
<p>“This year marks an entire quarter century of toiling over our keyboards for 72 hot<br />
summer hours, annually, and raising tens of thousands of dollars to fund literacy,<br />
numeracy, computer skills, English as a Second Language, and more, in Muskoka,”<br />
says KM Wehrstein, a novel marathon alumnus and convenor for the milestone<br />
event. “The emotional and creative payoff is something that has been described so<br />
well by so many writers – for many it has been life-changing. Literary careers –<br />
including one for an international best-selling author – have been started here. Why<br />
is this year the perfect time for you to jump in? Because it&#8217;s this year. The time to<br />
start is now.”</p>
<p>The Muskoka Novel Marathon brings together both new and experienced writers for<br />
an intense and exciting weekend. Participants write around the clock, building<br />
momentum, breaking through self-doubt, and producing a substantial piece of work<br />
in just three days – all in a supportive, creative, and focused environment.</p>
<p>Writers can register to participate in person ($100) or virtually ($25), but space is<br />
limited. Only 40 in-person spots are available – and they fill quickly. Early registration<br />
helps ensure your seat – literally – as a new online seat selection option is now<br />
available. In-person registration includes meals, coffee, tea, and Muskoka-sourced<br />
spring water. Special 25th anniversary T-shirts and tumblers are available for<br />
participants to purchase as keepsakes.</p>
<p>Participants can compete in two categories: Best Novel and, now in its second year,<br />
Best Spanish Language Novel. Writers can work solo or in pairs and may bring a<br />
one-page outline to guide their story. While submitting a manuscript at the end for<br />
judging is optional, participants are encouraged to take the leap.<br />
A panel of judges – such as editors, librarians, and professional writers – will review<br />
submissions, offering feedback. The grand prize? The winning manuscript is sent<br />
directly to a publisher or literary agent for review.</p>
<p>Beyond writing and prizes, though, the marathon has a fundamental purpose: to<br />
support writers in helping readers. Funds raised through registration fees – and<br />
pledges collected by participants – will support YMCA Simcoe Muskoka’s adult<br />
literacy supports and services in Huntsville and area. Participants will have access to<br />
fundraising tools, templates, and donor incentives. Top fundraisers can earn prizes –<br />
including guaranteed entry into the 2027 marathon.</p>
<p>“Literacy is directly tied to employment and income. It also impacts health,<br />
independence and quality of life – but we know that the demand for literacy far<br />
outweighs the participation,” says Brent McIntosh, Site Manager of Learning<br />
Services for YMCA Simcoe-Muskoka in Huntsville. He said about one-third of people in Muskoka are affected by low literacy in some<br />
way.</p>
<p>“If support like the Muskoka Novel Marathon didn’t exist, we would likely see fewer<br />
programs and longer waitlists, reduced one-on-one support, and less outreach and<br />
visibility. Adults in our community could remain stuck,” said McIntosh. “This<br />
partnership ensures that literacy services remain not just available, but strong,<br />
responsive, and rooted in the community.”</p>
<p>Reading, writing, English-language skills, basic math and digital literacy are essential<br />
life skills that help newcomers, job seekers, adults with barriers to education, and<br />
others gain confidence, forge connections, and seize new opportunities in<br />
employment or self-employment. These essential services change lives by helping to<br />
unlock a person’s potential. Every dollar raised improves lives, strengthens families,<br />
and builds healthier, more resilient communities.</p>
<p>Whether you’re starting your first novel or finally finishing one, the Muskoka Novel<br />
Marathon offers a powerful mix of creativity, community, and purpose – but don’t<br />
wait. Spots are limited, and the countdown is already on.</p>
<p>To register or learn more, visit MuskokaNovelMarathon.com or follow the Muskoka<br />
Novel Marathon on Facebook.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="x_MsoNormal">Huntsville Festival of the Arts is pleased to announce the return of <b>Nuit Blanche North (NbN)</b>, taking place on <b>July 18, 2026</b>, from <b>8:00 PM to 2:00 AM</b> in downtown Huntsville. This free, late night celebration of contemporary art will transform the town’s core into a vibrant hub of creativity, featuring installations and performances in unexpected and unconventional spaces.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Artists from across the region and beyond are invited to submit proposals for this year’s event, which embraces the theme <b><i>Into the Wild</i></b>.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">“<i>Into the Wild</i> considers ‘wild’ as both landscape and state of being,” says Artistic Dan Watson. “We are inviting artists to explore the untamed—within nature, within ourselves, and within the spaces we inhabit—blurring the boundaries between control and chaos, restraint and release, and the forces that pull us between order and freedom.”</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Nuit Blanche North encourages bold, imaginative, and interactive projects that engage audiences and activate public space. Organizers are particularly interested in works that foster participation and reflect the unique character of the Muskoka/Parry Sound region.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The exhibition area spans downtown Huntsville, including Main Street from the swing bridge to Centre Street, bounded by Minerva Street to the south and River Mill Park to the north. Main St. will be closed to traffic between Centre St. and Brunel Rd. Local businesses, cultural organizations, and community spaces are encouraged to take part by opening their doors and hosting artistic programming throughout the night.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The call is open to individual artists and collectives of all disciplines and experience levels. Selected projects must be site-specific, free to the public, and accessible throughout the duration of the event.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>Deadline for applications is April 24, 2026 at 5pm<br />
Application deadline and submission details can be found at huntsvillefestival.ca</b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>About Huntsville Festival of the Arts<br />
</b>Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) has been enriching the cultural life of Muskoka for 33 years, presenting a diverse range of performances, exhibitions, and community-engaged artistic experiences.</p>
