Country Music Television is hosting a “country fan’s dream getaway” this weekend (July 8/9) at Bingemans in Kitchener, Ontario. A two-day festival packed with AMAZING Canadian and American talent, CMT Music Fest is headlined by two of country music’s biggest names – Eric Church and Zac Brown Band.
When attending a music festival, there are many factors in addition to the music that can add to the amount of good times had. We’ve listed out 5 good reasons you’ll be sure to have a good time this weekend right here.
5. Mini Food Market
With a focus on local, CMT Music Fest features a “farm-to-table” approach with their mini food market. Here is a list of vendors and food trucks that you may gorge your little hearts out at all weekend long, at the giant Food Network Harvest Table!
Lancaster Smokehouse – Kitchener
The Bruce Caboose – Cambridge
Lobster Limo – Kitchener
Southern Ontario Smoked BBQ – Kitchener
Grainharvest Pretzel – Kitchener/Waterloo
Gastro Grub – Kitchener
Wafel Bar – Guelph
4. Great Beer
There are a multitude of alcohol sponsors including Twisted Tea, Jim Beam and Tito’s Handmade Vodka. But for the beer lovers, they’ll be pouring one of my personal favourites, COORS BANQUET!
3. Hangout Spots
In addition to the Food Network Harvest Table and hangout area, there will also be a ‘W Refresh Lounge’, where you can sit down, relax, touch up your makeup, and even gain some beauty tips!
2. Corus Celeb Personalities
A number of Corus personalities will be chillin’ out at the festival, hosting various activities, and taking photos with fans at the HGTV hot spot. Of course, our guy Paul McGuire will be on hand as the face of CMT, but there will also be appearances by the Property Brothers, Cheryl Hickey and Billy Bretherton (Billy the Exterminator)!
