War Child’s Summer of Music Festivals 

War Child is thrilled to be partnering with some of the biggest Canadian music festivals this summer to raise awareness of the plight of the children we work with and to raise much need funds to help us continue that work. 

War Child is the charity of choice for Jackson Trigg’s Twilight in the Vineyard concert series and will be on site throughout the summer at many of their exciting shows.  Come by and visit the War Chlld booth to bid on great silent auction items including guitars signed by Gord Downie, Sarah Harmer, Raine Maida and  Chantal Kreviazuk (just to name a few) plus fine wines donated by the winery.

Next up is Montreal’s not to be missed Osheaga  festival, July 31st-Aug 1st.. This year our highly successful Busking for CHANGE festival will be making a special stop at Osheaga and celebrated musicians, such as Patrick Krief, Still Life Still, Chinatown, Paul Cargnello,  Bahamas, Rich Aucoin, The New Cities, and many more will busk on site during peak times of the day for War Child. Money will be collected on site and through online donations. 

For the full schedule and list of artists, and to make a donation or sponsor your favourite participating artist, please visit www.warchild.ca/osheaga.  The schedule and list of artists will be updated regularly.
