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.

SPONSORSHIP:  The Budget for this festival is about $18000.00.  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 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

Please consider a generous donation in return for your business being featured on the “Sponsorship Wall of Fame” at the festival and on the website:  www.ksmusicfestival.com  Donate to our GO FUND ME Website: https://gofund.me/75bb349d
