Saturday's afternoon finale features Tranquil, a bright new band with a unique sound.

On Sunday, August 26, the Family Stage switches focus and takes a nostalgic trip back to the 1930's and 1940's with the 17-piece Toronto All-Star Big Band, joined by the voices of The Serenaders and The TABB Four. Sunday afternoon is a rock spectacular for kids with Montreal's The Shimmyshakers shaking their way into the children's music scene!
