Crowds are already gathering as local openers Lance Dobinson, Rebekah Hawker, and Cam Brown get ready to take the stage in just a few hours. These three performers are warming up the audience with homegrown sounds ahead of Brody's 8:30 p.m. performance.
Then when the clock strikes, sounds of multi-platinum, Canadian Country Music Award winner Dean Brody will flood the city. Brody is know for hits including, 'Canadian Summer,' 'Bring Down the House,' and 'Where'd You Learn to Do That?'
Admission is free to all the concertgoers.
Presented by CTV Barrie, Pure Country 106, BOUNCE 104.1, and the Downtown Barrie BIA, the series marks the return outdoor summer music to the waterfront.
A free shuttle service is helping fans get downtown without the stress of parking, with stops running between Allandale GO Station and the heart of the action.
Several roads are closed for Saturday's event, with detours in place.
With awesome sunny weather, live music, and thousands in attendance, downtown Barrie is beginning to buzz.
