The Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) is back for its 31st summer season of concerts and events. Muskoka’s largest arts organization has cooked up a rich artistic program for every palette. Whether your taste favours a folk-rooted country ballad, laugh out loud comedy, virtuosic musicianship or a raucous drag show, there’s plenty to savour in this season’s line-up of shows. Combined with visual art, waterfront movies and award-winning special events, the 2023 season is expected to attract thousands to the area.
Returning festival favourites include Canada’s Celtic Ambassadors the Barra MacNeils, legendary musicians Lighthouse celebrating 50 years, and the jazzy and infectious voice of Holly Cole. With a star on the Walk of Fame, the Order of Canada and no less than 15 JUNO awards, Jim Cuddy needs no introduction and will undoubtedly offer a sell-out performance.
