We can’t believe there are only two more sleeps until the start of the best FREE Family Weekend of the summer. That means only 2 more sleeps until you can enjoy FREE live music from artists including Katelyn Lehner.

Country ⭐️ Katelyn Lehner will be taking the Main Stage at the Waskesiu Lakeside Music Festival on Saturday, August 29, at 7:10 PM.
*Yes, we know that it’s technically 3 sleeps until you can watch Katelyn perform…but if you don’t go to bed on Friday night because you were at the Official Lakeside After Party at Happy Campers Bar & Grill ….then it’s only 2 sleeps 😉

Katelyn Lehner is one of Canada’s fastest-rising country artists, building momentum through a combination of relentless work ethic, powerful performances, and undeniable fan connection. A classically trained and award-winning vocalist, as well as a former Team Canada Track and Field athlete, Lehner brings elite-level discipline, charisma, and performance ability to every stage she steps onto.

We can’t believe it’s only 7 more sleeps until the start of the best FREE Family Weekend of the summer. That means only 7 more sleeps until you can enjoy FREE live music from artists including Taya Lebel.

Country/rock powerhouse Taya Lebel will be taking the Main Stage at the Waskesiu Lakeside Music Festival on Saturday, August 29, at 1:25 PM.
*Yes, we know that it’s technically 8 sleeps until you can watch Taya perform…but if you don’t go to bed on Friday night because you’re too excited about putting your dancin’ sandals on for the Main Stage…. 😉

Hailing from Prince Albert, Taya is turning heads with a voice that’s haunting, soulful, and impossible to forget. Blending smooth vocals, a touch of rasp, and serious stage presence, she delivers the kind of performance that sticks with you long after the last song.

Last year, Taya’s debut single “Life We’re Livin’” spent 6 weeks on the Billboard Canada Country Chart, reaching Number 54, while also climbing to Number 4 on the Canadian Indie Country Countdown. Her latest single, “Didn’t Get Far,” is out now.
