Cultivate Festival “Launch” Takes Over Memorial Park in Port Hope

In entertainment, Local

Cultivate Festival’s “Launch” took over Memorial Park in Port Hope on Saturday, May 21, 2022.

For most of the event it was an amazing day to celebrate after a two-year hiatus due to COVID.

Saturday’s event was called LAUNCH! and it was a free festival from 11am to 7pm.

For a brief period, most of the tents were packed up after a storm with high winds blew threw the area, toppling a few tents.

There was live music on the bandshell which included Digging Roots, AHI, Kobo Town, Sweet Alibi, Dave Mowat and the Curbside Shuffle, and Mimi O’Bonsawin.

There was also local food and family friendly arts and crafts workshops.

Cultivate Community actively strengthens regional communities by engaging local citizens in the discovery and celebration of arts and culture via grassroots leadership, creative partnerships and innovative artistic programming.
