Won’t Just Be The Bands Conducting Sound Checks At Wayhome Music Festival

Township will be keeping tabs on sounds drifting into the surroundings community

The second Wayhome Music Festival is this weekend at Burl’s Creek. While the traffic trauma that was predicted last year never materialized, some delays are likely along Highway 11 and Lines 7, 8 and 9 of Oro-Medonte.  Noise from the concerts was an issue last year, or was it? Mayor Harry Hughes says it was hard to tell…

So, to get a better handle on the noise situation, Hughes says monitoring stations will be set in strategic locations to check the decibel levels…

And Hughes says township staff will have a direct line to the concert stage to ask concert organizers to tone it down, if need be.
