It is with immense sadness that we announce the end of RTR (Rockin\u2019 The Rock) and MCF (Manitoulin Country Fest). After a significant health scare, Craig and KT have come to the very difficult decision to shut down the festivals. \u201cWe have worked towards having another team take over these events, unfortunately, that didn\u2019t come to pass. Simply put, we don\u2019t have anyone to take over the events and we cannot take on the pressure of delivering them anymore\u201d said KT.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe cannot even begin to express our level of thanks for our staff and friends, our incredible volunteers, Manitoulin Transport and the rest of the sponsors who supported us over the years, the artists who made the journey, and of course, our patrons! We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mike Mantha, Carol Hughes and the provincial and federal governments who supported our events over the years. We only hope the provincial and federal governments realize the importance of supporting events in Northern Ontario!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
MCF started in 2007 and RTR 2018 and we even managed to recover from the pandemic with festivals in 2022 and 2023. We have had the opportunity to see hundreds of amazing artists take our stage. The intent was to see incredible talent on Manitoulin. I guess we delivered!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
For those with camping spots, please email info@manitoulincountryfest.com to trigger your full refund via etransfer before JUNE 1ST, 2024. We ask that you email us versus calling us. It is going to be a very busy, sad, and stressful time. Your understanding here is appreciated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Again, thank you so much for your patronage and support over the years. We will miss you all and hope to see you down the road.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
