A new music festival in Tillsonburg is set to benefit CMHA Oxford.
TILLSONBURG - The first ever Forge Fest is coming to the town of Tillsonburg.
The music festival on Saturday July 28th will feature multiple acts; including the punk rock band Single Mothers and Marcy Playground lead singer John Wozinak.
Festival Organizer Ben Andress they will include lots of different genres.
"There's a large variety with something for everyone; rock, acoustic singer songwriter, punk, there's even some hip-hop and electronic music."
The lineup also includes a handful of comedians.
Andress says it will include five different venues; Sammy Krenshaw's, Boston Pizza, the Copper Mug, the Oxford Parkette and even the Broadway Laundry Mat.
"You just kind of wander around from 6 p.m. to about 1:30 p.m. and catch some cool bands. If you're somewhere and you don't like something you just hop along to the next place or get a schedule ahead of time, pick who you want to see and make a night out of it."
