THE FESTIVAL
Kichesippi Shores Music Festival is a back to basics, grassroots festival for local Ottawa bands and local music lovers.
Read an article about the Festival in 2023:
There are no corporate sponsors and all the food and beverage vendors are local to the West Ottawa area. You are encouraged to enjoy the Beetbox Farm property as much as you enjoy the music. Go for a swim in the Ottawa River at the Secret Beach, warm up next to a campfire, enjoy a Kichesippi Beer Co. beverage and kick off your shoes to dance on the grass dance floor! Please do not bring any personal alcohol to the Festival. We will have beer and cider at the Alcoholic Beverage Tent.
This is a wristband controlled event. All guests, volunteers and performers must get a writstband at the front gate.
Please respect the property of out gracious hosts @ Beetbox Farm.

FEEL THE VIBE
SPONSORSHIP: The FULL Budget for this festival is about $18000.00. The BREAK EVEN Budget where most musicians have ti play for FREE is about $9500. In the past few years we have relied on the generosity of most musicians playing for free as we built our crowd. This year (Season 4) we would like to have 400-500 paid guests and be able to pay all of our musicians. We will need to find many local sponsors to make this happen. If your business or any local business you know could sponsor the festival that would be super swell.
$100 pays for 1 Amateur Musician
$200 pays for 1 Professional Musician
$500 pays for 1 Amateur Band
$1000 pays for 1 Professional Band
