Song to the Waters is a week-long festival taking place August 12 – 16 across sites between Niagara Parks and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, featuring Indigenous-led workshops, storytelling, cultural exchange, and land-based experiences. 

The Festival culminates in two evenings of incredible, illuminated musical performances and concerts. Song to the Waters is an immersive musical and cultural experience featuring Indigenous artists and Elders from Canada, Australia, and Aotearoa (New Zealand). Rooted in the teachings of water as life, this event honours the voices of the land and calls audiences to listen, reflect, and act in protection of the natural world. 

Water is life. Let us gather in gratitude and guardianship.

Are you new to hiking? Unsure what the first steps are? Where to go? What to pack? What to wear? How to use hiking poles? All these things will be covered for children and adults and will include a photo tour of Bruce Trail highlights.

Let’s Hike! is presented by Ruth Moffatt from the Iroquoia Bruce Trail Club and is brought to you through a Municipal Grant from the Town of Grimsby. One badge and a guidebook are included with your participation. Bring the family!

It becomes abundantly clear, early in the performance, that the BLUSHING BRIDES are something exceedingly special and excessively unique in an industry of rampant mediocrity, permeated with bands aspiring to harness the excitement only the Rolling Stones could previously deliver.

The phenomenon and mystique that are the Brides is solely attributable to their lead frontman Maurice’s perseverance and longevity. In a business where showmanship should be paramount, he has no rival and is in a class all his own! The potency of the Brides combined stage presence, persona, and musical interpretations transform each performance into a memorable concert spectacle.

Although the comparisons are undeniable, the seemingly prototyped BLUSHING BRIDES have distinguished themselves from the original (Stones), with a very distinctive sound and delivery. All cover versions clearly have the Brides improvisational signature stamped on them, and are performed at an energy level that is immeasurable. The spontaneity and passion of the music allows the audience to participate and in effect create the entire event.
