Get ready for the party of summer 2009 and its FREE-no admission charge for a superb day of Fun in the Sun! The Corporation of the Town of Oakville and the merchants of the Bronte Business Improvement Area invite you to Oakvilles Canada Day Celebration on Wednesday, July 1st. in beautiful Bronte Village and harbour (southwest Oakville) on Lake Ontario.
Mayor Rob Burton Oakville urges residents and visitors alike to come to this annual event. The Town is very pleased to be a major partner, along with Heritage Canada and the Bronte BIA. In particular, we are proud to play our role in saluting our veterans and fallen heroes, and those that risk their lives to keep us safe and give us the freedoms we enjoy as Canadians. We dedicate Canada Day 2009 at the end of Veterans Highway as a salute and Oakvilles leg of the Highway of Heroes.
Bring your lawn chairs, hats, sunscreen, kiddies and strollers, and prepare to spend the day with us.
Enjoy a sizzling day of summer sun, samplings of food outdoors from participating Bronte restaurants, and items hot off the grill in our Beern Burger garden in the park, serviced by our friends and sponsors, the Kinsmen Clubs of Oakville.
For a small donation to good works, early birds can kick off the day at 8am. with the annual Oakville Trafalgar Lions Club pancake breakfast on Bronte Rd. south of Marine Drive.

Centriller Square Stage: on Lakeshore Rd. will feature some 7 acts playing a diverse range of music including blues, jazz, country, soul and rock, something for everyone. Alright Alright
Winners of the 2009 Metrolands Best of the West Battle of the Bands competition will perform at 7:30 and close the Centriller Stage at 9pm to lead people to the fireworks. The band took their favourite Clash, Buddy Holly, and Motown Records, and engineered an enigmatic sound of raw power and dancehall energy.
The Boardwalk Stage: on Bronte Rd. will feature five bands including The Sarah Burton Band. Sarah packs a deadly musical punch using charisma, charm and a rock and roll attitude. Sarah draws from country, pop and rock to create a sound that is both fresh and familiar. Sarah has toured and performed internationally.
Gazebo Main Stage: An afternoon of pickin in the park at the Gazebo Main Stage kicks off with Shawn Brush, the Krooked Cowboy, followed by five-time Juno nominated acoustic guitarist Stephen Fearing. Stephen was the first musician to play the Six String Nation Guitar on Canada Day on Parliament Hill 3 years ago. The pace heats up at 6pm with George Olliver & Gangbuster 8-pce band with horns performing some all-time classic favourites of the past. George Olliver is a Canadian musical institution. Audiences have been raving about his stage show for years.
Finishing off the evening on the Gazebo Stage and taking us up to the fireworks will be our Headliner
NewWorldSon. They won the 2007 Covenant Awards from GMA Canada for "Best New Artist" and "Roots/Folk album of the year". And were 2008 Juno Award nominees for "Best Christian/Gospel Album of the year" for "Roots Revolution".Their blend of pop, soul, jazz and gospel is unlike anything going on in popular music today.

I so much enjoyed Stephen's concert with Andy White, Stephen makes that guitar sing like nobody's business and he's a great singer/songwriter. Please keep coming to Fernie.
