So far, organizers have unveiled a list of scheduled performers that includes Weezer, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, the Strumbellas, Basia Bulat, Choir! Choir! Choir!, De La Soul, Dwayne Gretzky, Magic!, Tom Chaplin and Wintersleep.
Additional family-friendly performances from Fred Penner, Paw Patrol and Splash'N Boots will also take place.
Furthermore, the foodie crowd can look forward to appearances from personalities like Chuck Hughes, Rob Gentile, Derek Dammann, Danny Smiles, Vikram Vij, Victor Barry, Michael Hunter and Matthew Demille.
More guests are expected to be announced in the months to come, but if you're already sold on checking it out, tickets for the festival are available as of today (March 1).
