Guitars and Gasoline Music Festival attracts thousands to Calabogie area
Thousands of people from across Ontario are converging on the Calabogie area this weekend for the inaugural Guitars and Gasoline Music Festival. Being held at the Calabogie Motorsports Park, Guitars and Gasoline is a two-day music festival spread over Friday and Saturday, featuring artists including Blue Rodeo, Theory of a Deadman and Joss Ross. This is the first such festival being held at the racetrack in Calabogie, which is allowing festival goers to camp out directly along the more than five-kilometre-long track, Canada's longest speedway. Festival promoter Ken Craig says the support for the first-year festival, and its all-Canadian lineup, has been encouraging. 'We're going to be doing a little over 6,000 (tickets) right now, probably hit 7,000 because of the nice weather,' Craig told CTV News Friday. 'Very pleased with that for a first-year festival.' Craig adds that camping for the festival is 82 per cent sold out heading into the weekend, with tickets for the shows still available. For those planning to attend the festival, located roughly 100 kilometres west of Ottawa, event coordinator Jamie Steenbakkers says attendees should come prepared. 'Make sure to get your wristbands on and put your parking passes on your windshield sticker and also make sure if you have a will call ticket to print out your barcode so that you have that ready to scan so that we can issue you your wristbands and tickets,' Steenbakkers added. OPP are warning drivers commuting through the Calabogie area this weekend to be aware for heavy traffic and slow downs due to the festival.
