Well, the demand is apparent and this will be the summer of the first Fox Mountain "SMOKIN' BLUES FEST" at the beautiful Fox Mountain Camping Park on the South Mountain behind Aylesford. With camping for over 5000 people and 1000+ RV spots, this is sure to be the spot for a good time. Over 20 bands in one weekend!!!!

Expecting our first year to be a modest event that creates a demand for successive years is exactly our plan. We are not looking to blow people's minds with the next Woodstock, we are just looking to create and start a tradition of a festival that the Valley so seems to need and want. Our focus will be on providing people with a fun, safe camping atmosphere that combines great music with great times.

We are looking to expose some of the great bands that the Valley has grown locally and bring in some bands that many of you have never seen before. Sticking to the Blues and Blues Rock theme of things, this will be a great weekend with all you need for good music, good times and good friends.

We will also be holding a washer tournament and an Arts Fair for some of the Valley's local artists to show off their stuff. More info on these things will come with time.

If you would like more info on having your Art displayed or setting up a Vendor booth, please send us your email address to be added to the list for updated info and how to submit for your booth.

Fox Mountain provides clean bathrooms, canteen and shower facilities and a shuttle to take you from one spot to the other during the weekend. The crew at the campground are all great people who want you to come back many times, so they keep the place very friendly, safe and clean. Full Security staff on site, as well as First Aid and Information staff.

Spread the word, invite people to join the group and let's put The Valley on the map for yet another great musical event. Thanks for the support and we hope you have marked your calendars for what is sure to be one wild-ride of a weekend.

*******And finally, the info some of you have been waiting for......... YES, it is B.Y.O.B!!!!! No glass please!
