For the last ten years, live music fans have kicked off a season of outdoor fun with a trip to the Come Together Music Festival. Over the years, the festival has featured a wide range of Canadian and American artists from many musical genres including rock, folk, funk, bluegrass, jam, jazz, electronica, reggae, country and blues. Festival goers can expect a feel-good, party atmosphere with lots of friendly faces and dancing bodies.
Thanks to everybody who came out and made this year’s event such a fabulous one!!!

Location & Directions:
The upcoming May 2009 Come Together Music Festival will once again be happening at Frontier Ghost Town which is situated approximately 2 hours northwest of Toronto, 90 minutes north of Kitchener, and 20 minutes south of Owen Sound.
Looking at a map (link to Google map): - follow Highway 6 north of Guelph and continue north on Highway 6 about 10 km past Durham - turn right on Grey Road #12 - look for Frontier Ghost Town Camp Ground approximately 1 minute down Grey Road #12 on your right hand side (If you were to continue down Grey Road #12 you would eventually hit Markdale.)
Venue Information:
Frontier Ghost Town Camp Ground is a private campground. Campers drive into the campground and pick out a spot to set up. There are no designated sites, although obvious spots for campsites are evident. People get to park their cars where their camp sites are set up, and from there it is a short walk to where the bands play.
The campground has portable bathrooms, washing water, and cold showers. This year there will be more washrooms available than there have been in the past. Campers should plan on bringing their own camping gear and drinking water. Some food is available, but campers should consider bringing their own food. No glass containers & no pets are allowed at the festival.
Children are welcome, but this is more of an adult party festival than a family festival. Having said that, the camping area is large enough so that campers who want a quieter experience can find a spot that is somewhat removed from the late-night party.
