Held at
Gull lake Park in Gravenhurst each Sunday commencing at 7:30
p.m. "Barge"
concerts are a time honored tradition dating back to 1949.
Prior to 1949, the roots of this tradition had been
established at the band shell located at the Gull Lake site.
The present, permanent structure was completed just in time
for queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip to attend its' official
opening concert on July 4th, 1949. Today, the sounds emerging
from "Music on the Barge" range from the big band
sound, to Dixieland, jazz, folk, the music on the 50's and
60's and today's country.
Fred
Schulz, Director of the Music series, says, "It's always
great to see the support from our summer and local residents
at the Sunday night concerts. "Music on the Barge"
concerts are an important part of the summer in Gravenhurst
and Muskoka".
"Music
on the Barge" is an entertainment landmark, providing a
unique evening of Sunday night entertainment during the summer
months. In addition to the regularly scheduled Sunday evening
performances, "Music on the Barge" will also be
presenting some Sunday afternoon performances to be announced
shortly. For more information contact http://gravenhurst.ca/attractions/musicOnTheBarge/
