Live music and roaring speedboats anchored the soundscape of the festival, which drew huge crowds to the shoreline of both Sarnia and Port Huron.

The three-day event was organized to be family-friendly, with a line-up of street performances that included chainsaw jugglers, stilt walkers and busker workshops.

And with the exception of three evening concerts it was all free of charge.
