KN¿where Festival Postpones Edition at Raven’s Knoll, Moves to Toronto

The debut edition of KN¿where Festival won’t take place at Raven’s Knoll due to an ongoing wildfire risk in the region. The organizers have shifted gears to a new venue in Toronto.

Independent festivals have been hit hard in recent years, and one of the newest, KN¿where Festival, is already facing a massive hurdle ahead of its debut edition. This fresh, bass-fueled festival was scheduled to take place from September 12 to 14 at Raven’s Knoll, located two hours outside of Ottawa, Canada. However, the edition at that venue has been postponed due to an ongoing wildfire risk in the region.

KN¿where Festival organizers, DNR Productions, took to social media earlier today to announce the shift away from the venue, offering transparency by stating that they are following the guidance from provincial fire authorities. However, all is not lost for those who had planned to attend, as the first-year festival has relocated to a new venue, 1377 Queensway in Toronto, keeping its original dates on the same weekend.

Please know this decision was made after looking into all other possible options, and to protect the safety of our community, our staff, and the local environment we all care so deeply about.

The festival organizers have also commented on the post to address the shift for those impacted, saying they’re working on finding a solution for accommodations.

An email will be sent to all ticketholders in the near future with additional information regarding the change. Further details regarding potential lineup changes or other modifications have not been made public at the time of publishing.
