On February 7, the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival invites you to experience a unique tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The Stone Free Tribute will feature a trio of award-winning musicians - Dylan Wickens, Dan McKinnon, and Juno-nominated Wayne DeAdder -
along with Mike Rajna on drums and Ryan Allen on bass.
A set list of 25 songs has been specifically arranged for this concert, with each musician having an opportunity to play their own rendition of their favourite Hendrix songs. The concert will present the material in a way that honours the spirit of Hendrix’s recorded work and how it was written, while giving musicians creative freedom and expression with the songs.

Enjoy the great outdoors this winter at Island Lake
|
|
There will be no time for hibernation this winter when you discover
Island lake Conservation Area
’s impressive offering of outdoor experiences. Located on the northeast corner of Orangeville, the outdoor oasis features 332 hectares of lake, wetland, and forest and provides a year-round selection of recreational pursuits. February’s full calendar of events and activities will entice you to get outside and experience Island Lake.
The fun begins on Saturday, February 1 with the
Great Canadian Pondspiel
, hosted by the Orangeville Curling Club. The popular annual event always sells out and spectators are welcome to enjoy this old-fashioned outdoor curling experience.
Visitors looking for a different way to explore the park can trek the trails on snowshoes or glide along the lake on skates. On Friday, February 7 and Saturday, March 7, the park opens from 6 to 9:30 p.m., offering a chance to experience the
park by moonlight
and warm up with a hot chocolate around a cozy campfire.
Ice fishing lures both novices and professionals to the lake. Huts and equipment are available for rent, making it easy to bait your hook and reel in the big catch. The fish and prizes are aplenty at the annual
Ice Fishing Derby
, running from February 8 to 17. Register before February 7 to be eligible for the early bird prize.
Family Fun Day
on Monday, February 17 is another way to experience the great outdoors. Demonstrations and activities will showcase all that Island Lake has to offer this winter. Learn how to ice fish, try fat tire cycling, and play a game of
crokicurl
, an
ice game that combines elements of curling and the board game crokinole.
While there is so much to make winter wonderful at Island Lake, there's no harm in thinking spring! Make sure to save the date for the annual
Maple Syrup Festival,
happening March 20, 21, and 28. Tickets are now available online at
maplesyrupfest.com
.
The park is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Equipment rentals are available
