Have you ever 'grooved irresistibly' on the banks of the Thessalon River?

Here's your chance, as the Northern Vibe Festival returns Aug. 23-25

Music lovers looking to get out this summer are invited to the Northern Vibe Festival.

Located in Poplar Dale - one hour east of the Sault - this three-day outdoor festival (Aug. 23-25) features art and music on two separate stages. 

Whether floating in the river, soaking up the sun on the beach, sitting by the fire surrounded by djembe drums, or dancing under the stars, lights and lazers, festival goers will find themselves grooving irresistibly to a mix of drum and bass, house, uk garage, electroswing, reggae, jungle, funk, and more.

Tickets are $130 per person and can be purchased online at NorthernVibeFestival.com.

Tickets include onsite camping for all three days and full entry to all stages and performances on the festival grounds.
