UPDATED June 2022
Beyond the lush forests and sparkling rivers, ponds and lakes; there are country roads near Huntsville, Ontario that will lead you deep into the woods to a magical hidden place.
A place for musicians and music lovers.
I was lucky enough to experience this 'best kept secret' for a
Crowbar (Oh What a Feeling...What a rush) concert.
After being at this Muskoka pavilion I can't decide what the key highlight is:
the sense of community, family atmosphere, live music or the legendary pizza!
Etwell Concert Series
features live music at an outdoor venue near Huntsville, Muskoka.
Most shows are hosted by the Spring family (Bill, Jeanine, and Tobin)
at their home on the Etwell Road.
The venue is a remote,
private location in a country setting with an open pavilion to provide
shelter from the elements. (Power outages do not affect whether their shows go
on. They have a generator)
This family
event mostly takes place June through October on most Sundays, 3 - 6
pm (with occasional weeknight shows). Fall and winter shows will be held
at indoor venues in Huntsville.
Chairs and benches are provided and all shows are rain or
shine. But you are welcome to bring your own as well.
Admission is a suggested
$20 donation per person for the outdoor concerts, with proceeds going to
the artists. Donations can be made on site. Children are welcome at our outdoor
concerts and admitted free of charge.
Etwell Concert Series artists are internationally acclaimed
musicians, including Juno-award-nominees and winners, as well
as Maple Blues Awards nominees and winners. Our opening acts are
often local musicians
They have merch!
Hats and Apparel
Clean and Charming bathroom facilities
Lovely gardens surround the venue.
During the opening act you can smell the wood burning
in the massive outdoor stone pizza oven.
Then the
"Mistresses of Deliciousness"
work their culinary magic
to make the
LEGENDARY
Pizza!
Side Note:
One of the 'Mistresses of Deliciousness'
was wearing a Tentree Festival Hat!
(Stylish and chic for both intimate performances or outdoor concerts.
Their Festival hats are made from 100% recycled wool,
so you can rock out in sustainable fashion. Order here.)
