2026-05-30 - 2026-05-31 | Kincardine, Kincardine, ON, Canada
The Tour of Kincardine is a cross-discipline classic bike race which follows the many single track trails of Kincardine and is connected by various roads and paths. There is a short course route (10k) designed for beginners and a more challenging long course (32km). Do you want to crush the single track? Do you want to power through the hard surfaces? Are you skilled in the mud?
The terrain roughly breaks down to 16km of hard surfaces, 14 km of single track, and 2km of paved roads. The single track is challenging regardless of the bike you choose to ride. The route follows the forested river trails, lakeside paths and connecting roads through the town of Kincardine. It finishes downtown at Geddes Park. This pleasant, scenic location is also where the awards will be held.

Canada Day Owen Sound
2026-07-01 - 2026-07-02 | Kelso Beach, Owen Sound, ON, Canada

Foxwarren
2026-07-05 19:30 - 23:00 | Meaford Hall, 12 Nelson St E, Meaford, ON, Canada
Foxwarren is Andy Shauf, Avery Kissick, Darryl Kissick, Dallas Bryson, and Colin Nealis. The Canadian quintet, built on 20 years of friendship, ostensibly plays folk music, where warm tones and cantering rhythms buoy songs of characters wrestling with existential quandaries inside of twilit vocals. But after touring their lauded 2018 self-titled debut, Foxwarren decided to do it all differently, eventually dropping the familiar band-in-a-room routine to instead plug those songs, and various other sounds into a sampler. The result is mesmerizing and uncanny, an album that traces two sides of a relationship through 37 minutes of collage art that aspires to “sound best blasting out your car window” as put by singer Andy Shauf. By himself, Shauf has already had a stellar career, his reputation built not only by the sweetness of his melodies and sharpness of his words but also his inability to rest with past success. Foxwarren, especially here, is a crucial part of that ongoing process, but 2 represents something even more significant—five friends now nearing the end of their second decade making music together, pushing against what they’ve learned how to do in order to venture somewhere new. It is the sound of friends who trust each other, cutting themselves loose from their past and their preconceptions to have some fun with a sampler and the very idea of songs.
