"Wasaga Beach is a perfect fit for MECOG," festival founder Scott Emslie said in a statement. "The festival is meant to be an escape from the city to a beach town for a weekend packed with high energy sports, day cabanas, lakeside house music, sunset headliner performances, and shared memories with likeminded people. It's hard to find a better location than Wasaga Beach to create the MECOG experience."
