Cornwall Lift-Off

The Cornwall Lift-Off has been part of the festival landscape for 20 years and this year celebrates it’s 20th anniversary with a solid line-up of great Canadian music not to mention some amazing hot-air balloons.
The lift-off 20th Anniversary party kicks off with a free day on Friday July 10 featuring the music of Street Road, The Lost Boyz (80′s Tribute), Barstool Prophets and capping it off with headliner Glass Tiger!
