A Sackville festival has been honoured with an East Coast Music Award for the second consecutive year.
On May 8, Levee on the Lake was named Event of the Year at the awards event in Fredericton.
The festival is happening in Sackville again this summer from August 18 to 21.
It began in 2020, after the COVID-19 crisis wiped out the live music scene.
For that event, music lovers were physically-distanced in boats, with a paddle-up stage at Silver Lake. Last year, the festival moved onto dry land at Lillas Fawcett Park.
For more on the festival, CHMA spoke to organizers Shelley Chase and Stacey Read.
This report includes music performed by some of the artists on this year’s festival lineup, including the Barra MacNeils, Ivan Hicks, the Sacred Wolf Singer and Jud Gunning, whose version of Deep River Blues wraps up the show.
