The 25th Copper Kettle Festival, hosted by Creemore Springs Brewery, is on August 29.

The day begins at 10 a.m. with a car show and two markets.

As per tradition, said organizer Heather Harding, the Beinn Gorm Highlanders Pipe and Drum Band will kick-off the party with a procession toward the brewery at 11 a.m.

The main stage line-up starts at noon with Jeanne Truax followed by The Pintos, Peter Elkas Band. The Flamingos, a fun 80s and 90s cover band from Guelph, will close out the set, beginning just after 4 p.m.

During the festival a portion of Mill Street is closed to vehicle traffic to make way for games and activities for all ages including axe-throwing and children’s activities provided by darci-que and Imaginarium beginning at 11 a.m.,

The cask competition returns this year. It is a fun challenge for Creemore Springs brewers who compete to see which team has created the best unique cask-brewed beer. The tapping of the kegs will take place at 11 a.m. and beer token holders will have a chance to try 12 different brews, while supplies last, and vote on their favourites.

On the Creemore Village Green stage, there will be live music by Sherri Jackson Band at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Beinn Gorm Highlanders Pipe and Drum Band will play again at 1 p.m.

The food court will be open near the brewery and some local restaurants will be setting up food booths on Mill Street.
