July 3rd, 2025 Lake Ainslie Fire Hall
We spent the afternoon in a Provincial Park parking lot waiting for the evening event. It was about 11 km to the venue in Scottsville. We arrived early because the parking lot was extremely small and we don't fit easily. This venue was completely different from the others we've attended. The time was later 8-11pm and it was very casual. Other Kitchen Fest events have been full, but the Fire Hall was only half full of mostly locals. Most of the events require a minimal cost of $15. Some charge only $10. Tonight's musicians were among the best we've seen: Shelly Campbell, Allan Dewar, Kenny Stewart and Heather Cameron. Each venue has a host who starts the evening by introductions in Gaelic and English and then sings a Gaelic song acapella. This young woman was exceptional. She performed several songs throughout the evening and then step danced at the end. One of the differences with tonight's event was the square dancing. Wow!
Hoping the video below works.
