Kinsmen Outdoor Music Fest returning to Stratford

It’s a chance to enjoy outdoor music while supporting local projects.
The Kinsmen Outdoor Music Fest, presented by Kinsmen Club of Stratford, is returning Aug. 23, with several musicians set to perform at Stratford Perth Museum.
The festival supports projects within the Stratford community.
Local musician Steve Adair, better known as Yeager, said the 3rd annual event will go on for six hours.
“This year we went with a couple of tribute bands, a local band and myself,” said Yeager.
“As everyone is coming in, I’ll be playing on stage. We’re working on the logistics of the day and making sure everything runs smoothly.”
Yeager says he helps the Kinsmen with their fundraising events when music is involved, adding “it’s a lot of fun putting a program together.”
“The Perth Museum is a wonderful place to have an outdoor festival, kids 12 and under are free, and it’s a family-friendly event,” said Yeager.
Other performers include local band Mutual Mind, Blue Rodeo tribute band Diamond Mine, and Tom Petty tribute band Full Petty Fever.
Yeager says tickets are $25 and Stratford Transit will offer on demand shuttle service for the show.
The show is scheduled for 1 p.m. until 7 p.m.
