About biglake
Reflecting on all our past seasons, we are riding high on the excitement and success of each year since we began in 2021. It’s wonderful to see a consistent increase in new attendees, particularly during the Festival, which spans nine days and features over 50 talented musicians performing intimate concerts across various charming venues in Prince Edward County. Everyone’s energy and appreciation were absolutely infectious at every show. With many of our concerts sold out, it brings us great joy to reconnect with our loyal ticket holders who supported each performance and to warmly welcome new friends visiting BIGLAKE for the first time!
