A Message from Del ...
Welcome!
We have a number of changes in mind for the 8th season of the Canadian Guitar Festival.
Keep an eye on the website - say 'hello' on the guestbook - the 2012 CGF will be a party on the lake to remember.
How to Get Here
Loughborough Lake Holiday Park is located just north of Kingston,via Sydenham Road (8 Km North of Hwy 401 at Exit #613), on a pristine, spring fed, 23 mile long lake loaded with lake trout, bass, pike, & pan fish!
Below is the highway map to the Loughborough Lake Holiday Park entrance. Here is an interactive Google highway map (link opens in a new window).
2012 Guitar Competition update:
We will be accepting registration for the 2012 Fingerstyle Guitar Competition on Wednesday February 1, 2012 as of 6 pm EST.
Simply read the rules on the COMPETITION PAGE - in your registration email that you send us, please acknowledge that you have read and understand these rules.
There are no auditions - no need to send links etc.
Registrants will be received in the order that they arrive.
After the 1st 25 registrants are received, those that follow will be placed in order, in the manner that they are received in a holding pattern.
There will be an announcement made to the 1st 25 enrolled entrants. If you are one of these 25, when you receive your announcement, you will have precisely one week to purchase your registration ticket for the event. The registration ticket is the same price as a camping pass for the festival - in fact, IT IS a camping pass for the festival which covers your admission for the whole weekend.
Failure to purchase your pass within the exact time frame described in the announcement, will bump your name to bottom of the holding list...and the name at the top of the holding list will advance to the 1st group where upon the same opportunity to complete registration shall be provided.
Looking forward to hearing some amazing new talent again this year!
