The Bluegrass Festival will see some changes for 2023 and was approved by Renfrew Town Council at their meeting February 14.
Once a four-day festival, the event will now be condensed into a two-day affair after lagging attendance started to eat into the operational budget. Also of importance is the decision to not allow camping as part of the festival, again directly connected to municipal staffing costs.
The festival, while styled a Bluegrass Festival, will contain performers of other music genres as well as an anticipated increase in the participation of local talent.
Finally, there will be enhancements to the transportation plan, allowing for adequate event parking, traffic flow, and safe transportation alternatives for festival-attendees.
