The Country Music Festival was started in 1981 to raise funds to help to build a new ice arena in Lion's Head.  The Festival is one of the most popular events on the Peninsula, and draws people from all over Southern Ontario and part of the United States.
 
Visitors come to hear the music country stars of another generation used to play. Gail Brinkman, one of the organizers calls it "Old-Time Country Music". The Community Center is transformed into a big virtual living room for music, dancing and socializing.  The musical program begins on Saturday afternoon, and the local Lioness Club operates a Food Booth to ensure no one goes home hungry.
