Event Site

The event is all about the community of Canso and 5 local non-profits working together to showcase their community and help out a couple local causes. The Canso Area Development Association  partners with Stanfest to make it all happen.  We also raise a little money for local minor hockey and figure skating along the way. Lost Shores likes to promote the area and we’re pretty good at organizing events so we’re happy to donate our time to make it all happen.

We’ll have a liability waiver and a few rules but nothing too onerous, we just want to make sure everything we do is safe and does not leave anyone with an unhappy experience.

You can consume alcohol on Stanfest property but please do not leave the grounds with your drink. That will cause someone some heartburn so please play nice.

Gates open Friday 13th at noon. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a friendly face and a brief registration process. This will include signing a liability waiver, collecting t-shirt, meal tickets, site map and wrist bands.
