Summer music festival season is almost upon us and honestly, IÂ CAN'T WAIT! While we're still waiting for some lineups, we've got dates from some of the best music festivals across the country.
Of course, to each their own taste in music, so I won't say these are the "best" music festivals in the country. But they are highly anticipated and feature amazing musicians year after year.
We really are lucky up here, every province has an amazing festival to look forward to whether you like country or electronic music.Â
