Festival Patio – Saturday, July 16 – 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

The festival patio returns this year with a new look. Running from 2:00 – 5:00 pm on Saturday at the Crystal Palace, the patio will be an “open stage” featuring local musicians coming together to entertain you. Hosted by radio personality Adam Weekes of Lake 88, the patio will include a bar provided by the Civitan Club of Perth, as well as a barbecue. C’mon out and enjoy a cold drink and some hot tunes. You never know who will show up to play.

Sunday Brunch – Sunday, July 17 – 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Our successful Sunday Brunch will be back again this year at the Crystal Palace. Catered by Waterfall Catering, it will be an all-you-can-eat buffet that will run from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm. Bring the whole family to the banks of the River Tay and enjoy some great food while listening to a selection of vintage pop, jazz standards and show tunes performed by the piano/sax duo of Brian Browne and Peter Woods. Browne, who studied under Oscar Peterson in Toronto, opened Zoe’s Lounge in Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier Hotel in 1986 where he would remain as musical director before leaving for New York City. Browne has hosted his own program on CBC radio and won various awards including the coveted BMI Composition of the Year Award in 1974 for “Morning, Noon and Night-time Too.”

Family Show – Sunday July 17 – 11:30 a.m.

After you’ve enjoyed the brunch, be sure to stay for our special family show scheduled for 11:30 a.m. in the Crystal Palace featuring the ever-popular Al Simmons. Simmons tours regularly across Canada and the United States and has appeared on various television programs including the well-known Sesame Street. He has recorded numerous albums for children and won a 1995 Juno Award for Best Children’s Album. His illustrated children’s book “Counting Feathers” was short-listed for the McNally-Robinson Book of the Year in 1997. He received a Cable Ace Award nomination for his music video “I Collect Rocks,” which is also the title track of his DVD. From Winnipeg, Manitoba, Simmons is a hit with audience members of all ages.
