“We’ve brought in some of the top blues players from around the world and support the great young and new Canadian talent. We started with four bands and 2,300 people over two days; now we have close to 150 bands” says founder Chuck Jackson.

The Rabba Fine Foods Street Shuffle presents plenty of free outdoor stages along Lakeshore from noon to 4 p.m.on Saturday the 8th. There’s a “Junior Jam”, “Harps For Kids” workshop, clothing and craft booths in the vendor’s village, and a mouthwatering food court.

The over 300 volunteers really do make this event a continuous success and encompasses a true community-first spirit.
