Wednesday, October 19th 2022 Despite two postponements, Country On The Bay was finally able to host its inaugural music festival this past summer July 22-24th 2022. “We are extremely happy to have finally been able to present this event in Thunder Bay after first trying to back in 2020. We are also pleased to have been able to help out not only the local economy, but the many deserving local organizations,” said Rob Waloschuk GM of Dauphins Countryfest, Co-presenter of Country On The Bay. “I approached Rob at Dauphins Countryfest, wanting to present the same kind of festival experience for our Thunder Bay area as it would be extremely beneficial for our community. Not only being able to bring in great entertainment, but also help out local organizations in the process,” says David Allen of Redneck Productions, Co-presenter of Country on the Bay. One of the organizations able to share in the success of the 2022 festival is the Rotary Clubs of Thunder Bay, who were able to raise over $60,000.00 towards their many charitable organizations and humanitarian projects. “Rotarians and Rotaractors are “People of Action” and we strive to make a positive impact on communities both at home and abroad. We were grateful for the opportunity to help out at this local event and be the recipient of a portion of the proceeds from Country on the Bay. These proceeds will be used by the Thunder Bay Rotary Clubs (Fort William, Port Arthur and Lakehead) to assist many local organizations that have been hard hit over the past few years and are yet seeing their services in far greater demand. The impact these proceeds will have is far reaching, helping so many of our family, friends and neighbours within our community. As Rotarians, we look forward to helping out at Country on the Bay in 2023,” says Allan Kozlo, from Lakehead Rotary Club Festival organizers are working hard on year two of Country on the Bay. Dates scheduled for July 21-23rd 2023. We are hoping to make artist announcements soon so stay tuned to our socials and join our mailing list on our website.
