Slow down, I like that. Anyway great little local fest Cultivate in Port Hope at the Haute Goat happens once again this year Friday Sept 26 through Sunday Sept 28 2025. The fest has it all, family friendly fun, local vendors and food options, animals, and one scenic place to stage it all in. Of course music is a part of it all with alt-country stalwarts Elliott Brood headlining Friday and Saturday features a full line-up of diverse global sounds from Okavango African Orchestra, Urban Science Brass Band, Kazdoura, and Dystoh. Sunday Danny Michel beams in to close out the proceedings. Go if you can. Also included a fab session the Brood did at Massey to get y’all warmed up.
