Event staff at Creemore Springs Brewery are busy putting finishing touches to plans for this year’s Copper Kettle Festival. The festival returns Saturday, Aug. 27 after a two year hiatus and will celebrate a return to live events as well as the brewery’s 35th anniversary.
Heather Harding, Creemore Springs Manager, Events and Community Experience says the format will be very similar to the last Copper Kettle Festival in 2019, with a stage set up on Mill Street at Edward, a Makers’ Market and Car Show. Twenty five vendors have signed up for the market and more than 50 entries are expected for the car show. The festivities will officially kick off with a parade by the Beinn Gorm Highlanders at 11 a.m. then the beer will be flowing until 6 p.m. Live entertainment will continue on the main stage all afternoon with headliner Tara Lightfoot appearing at 4:30 p.m.
This year, for the first time, there will be additional activities at the new Creemore Village Green with live music from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Children’s activities will be led by darci que and Imaginarium. The new limited edition of Sparkling Lager will be launched to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Creemore Springs will be available in the retail store.
