    It gets underway July 26th and features Kacie Callahan and the Wannabe Lovers, Roblos Rock, the Jesse Hackett band and DJ Two Jays.

    For the past five years the cost of a ticket to the annual Massey Drive “Party on the Hill” has stayed the same at $25. It gets underway July 26th and features Kacie Callahan and the Wannabe Lovers, Roblos Rock, the Jesse Hackett band and DJ Two Jays. Town Councillor Gary Warren says at a time when the cost of everything is increasing, they felt it important to keep the same price which has always been a sold out show. He says money raised is used to cover off the festival and put some money into a recreation account for the town. Warren says only 285 tickets have been sold to date and last year they sold 1300. Tickets can be purchased at Retro or at the Massey Drive town hall,  and includes a free shuttle to and from the show.
