Roots North Music Festival

Roots North Music Festival The Roots North Music Festival brings together some amazing performers to Orillia, Ontario Canada Pauls Centre, and various other venues downtown.

Roots music can refer to several styles or genres in music, but to us it’s music that is firmly rooted in a place of honest expression and emotion. It’s music that travels, shares, and connects, while honouring the past and bravely moving forward. It’s our mission to bring together a wide range of artists and people who share this vision for a weekend of great live music. The Roots North Music fes

tival is a 4-day celebration taking place in downtown Orillia, with our headline performances taking place at the St. Tickets can be purchased online at www.rootsnorthmusic.ca
