The Gateway Music Festival
It is with heavy hearts that we must officially announce the cancellation of the 2020 Gateway Festival due to COVID-19.
We know many of you have been expecting this announcement and we thank you for your patience through this difficult time. This has been an unprecedented challenge for our organization. With that said, our number one priority is everyone’s
health and safety.
The cancellation will have a significant impact on our community but we are determined to overcome it. We will return July 23-25, 2021! Please save the date.
If you had already purchased tickets for 2020 we know you will have questions. We are here for you but we ask for your patience over the next 3 weeks as we work through inquiries and processing. We would like to ask you to consider donating your tickets to help our organization through this trying time or keeping your tickets and we will honour them 2021. We can offer a charitable tax receipt for donations. If you purchased physical tickets from a store please email gatewayfestivaltickets@gmail.com and we will ensure we find a scenario that best suits your interests. If you purchased tickets from our online ticket provider (Showpass.com) your tickets will automatically be transferred over to July 23-25, 2021. If you prefer a different solution please email us.
We must thank you again for your patience and understanding. We will miss all of you this summer, but we encourage everyone to practice social distancing and respect the government’s guidelines through the reopening phases. We also must acknowledge all of the amazing musicians, techs and crew. We will all get through this together.

CAMPING FEES are $15.00/night/trailer/tent whether you are dropping off and leaving or staying (if you are ROPING OFF an area for your friends you MUST PAY for those SPOTS from the time you rope them off, as it is just like their trailer/tent is actually there for that length of time).
