McKennitt will be accompanied by The Bookends, a Stratford-based Celtic band and several of their songs will also be included in the sets. JUNO Award-nominated, award-winning, and internationally renowned contemporary folk artist Dayna Manning will commence the special evening of music.

I’m so delighted to be welcoming my musical hero, Loreena McKennitt to Gravenhurst this summer,” shares Miranda Mulholland founder and Artistic Director of the Muskoka Music Festival. “It’s been my absolute pleasure to curate a lineup of so many talented artists who will be gracing our Dockside stage all weekend long alongside our incredible artisans.”
