The small Saskatchewan community of Bengough is getting ready for their biggest event of the year.

 

The sixth annual Gateway Music Festival will run July 23rd-25th.

The musical line up for the event has now been announced with some of the bigger names taking to the stage this year include: Buffy Sainte-Marie, Aaron Lines, Deric Ruttan, One More Girl, Victoria Banks, Dean Brody and Elliott Brood.

Artistic Director Carol Cairns says this event has just took off from year one. "The very first year, we put it all in three weeks and it was all based around when we could get Corb Lund. We had about 500 people show up. Then from there it went on to two days and the third year we went to a full festival and it's just been gaining popularity every year and we are really hoping to pack it this year."

Aside from the music, there is plenty of event to see and do according to Cairns. There will be children's activities, multi cultural pavilion, interactive workshops and much more.
