Friday June 7 — The Cliks, Holly McNarland, PLEX, Andrew Vincent, poet rob mclennan and then Elliott Brood.
Saturday June 8 — The Johnnys, Lynne Hanson, Jim Bryson, Cindy Baker, spoken word artist Greg Frankson and finally, Skydiggers.
Sunday June 9 — Tam Tam with Dr. Lee, a drumming circle with audience participation, starts at 5 p.m., followed by Amos The Transparent, Amanda Rheaume, visual artist Cara Tierney and then Fiftymen.
Admission is free, and the main stage can be found behind the parking area at the Real Canadian Superstore at Richmond Road and Kirkwood Avenue.
