Canada Day weekend is often one of the busiest weekends of the year as we have teams covering events and festivals across Canada. We’re proudly based in the 1000 Islands region of Ontario so when an event comes around in our home territory we are sure to attend and help spread the word. This summer the annual 1000 Islands Regatta promised an all-star entertainment lineup with headliners Platinum Blonde, Jason Blaine and the Northern Pikes hitting the stage over the weekend with loud and fast hydro-plane racing skimming the water on the St. Lawrence River during the day.

Brockville has become a hotspot for the Canada Day long weekend over the past several years as the 1000 Islands Regatta brings the heart stopping action on the water during the day and as the sun sets all eyes turn to the main stage which has played host to some of Canada’s biggest recording artists including Honeymoon Suite, 54-40, Kim Mitchell and more.

For the last 10 years the 1000 Islands Regatta has been a staple event along the shores of the St. Lawrence River in Brockville. Each year organizers take it up just one more notch when it comes to their entertainment and after last year’s success with Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell organizers promised that 2017 would be even better to celebrate Canada’s 150th Birthday and today it was announced that they kept their promise!

The weather was perfect, not too hot but also not too cold. The crowds were there in full force, one thing was clear Brockville came to party and veteran Canadian rocker Kim Mitchell did not disappoint.
