Lots New for Lucknow's Music in the Fields 2016
2016 promises to be
another exciting year for one
of the finest weekends of
country music at Lucknow's
Music in the Fields, held
August 25-27 at the Lucknow
Soccer Fields.
One of the challenges for fes-
tivals is to try and find new and
interesting activities to keep the
event fresh and exciting for all
patrons. Entering our eighth
year, we have a loyal following
of people who identify with the
festival, but we also believe that
we owe it to these people to
provide new experiences, and
we make great efforts to
improve upon past successes.
So what's new this year?
Thursday night throw down.
This year we are offering yet
another night of entertain-
ment. Campers are starting to
come in earlier and by Thurs-
day night, we typically have
over half of our campers on
site. This year, we chose to pro-
vide even more value and
entertainment with our
"Thursday Night Throw Down"
Providing the stage enter-
tainment will be "The Abrams';
a brand new up and coming
band to the world of Canadian
country. You will have seen
them at the Country Music
Association of Ontario Awards
and heard them on the radio
with their newest single `Fine!
This will be supported by DJ
Bugleboy, who will spin some
of country's top hits.
Graceland camping. Our
newest campground is now
ready and open for business.
Lucknow's Music in the Fields
has not only become known
for its great music, but as a
camping destination, and as a
result the camping has grown
with the festival. There
became a real need to find a
more permanent camping
solution within close proxim-
ity to the festival site.
From this, Graceland was
born. It is 55 acres of prime
camping area that is about a
15 minute walk to the festival
ground. For those who don't
enjoy a relaxing, scenic walk
through a nature trail, ample
bussing will be available to
get you to the festival.
Inflatable playground. If
you're looking for something
fun to do in the campground
on Friday and Saturday this
year, we are introducing a new
all -ages inflatable playground
into Graceland brought to you
byX Infused from London.
This fun zone will be a cir-
cuit of inflatable games and
obstacles that camping
patrons will be able to utilize
throughout the weekend.
These games will be family -
friendly and sure to provide
hours of entertainment for
1 = 1 1
everyone. Timing will be
announced leading up
closer to the big weekend.
For the wee festival -goers.
On Saturday morning from
9:00 a.m. to noon, we will be
hosting the "Tumbleweeds
Club', a unique experience
for kids aged 6-12.
This is an opportunity for
the up and coming country
generation to have a little fun
away from Mom and Dad.
For a nominal cost of $25,
they will have a sneak peak
of what goes on behind the
scenes at Lucknow's Music
in the Fields. They will have
an opportunity to visit one of
the stages and be a star for a
few minutes, paint festival
murals, get a Tumbleweeds
t -shirt, share some snacks,

Free parking. Parking
costs and access can be very
bothersome and as a result
of your feedback, we have
taken away this common
concern. The primary park-
ing lot will still be at the Luc -
know Sports Complex with
overflow parking close -by.
Once at the parking lot, the
Lucknow Transit System, a
bus service put on by the Luc -
know and District Kinsmen,
will pick you up and take you
directly to the festival ground,
all for free! Look for parking
signs on the way into town.

associated costs. This would
not have been possible with-
out the support of Celebrate
Ontario, who has provided
funding for some of this
year's enhancements. The
festival would also not be
possible without the incredi-
ble support from our army of
volunteers. We appreciate the
support of those from near
and far who help us raise
money for charitable com-
munity projects.
Volunteer positions are still
available to those interested in
lending a hand, so visit the
website to sign up. If you
haven't grabbed your tickets
yet, make sure to do so. They
won't last long, since every-
one's looking for a memorable
bash to end off an incredible
summer. Visit www.musicin-
