Burl's Creek Event Grounds is a concert venue in Oro-Medonte, near Barrie, Ontario, Canada. It most notably holds Wayhome Music Festival in July, and the Boots and Hearts Music Festival in August each summer. It is located on the south side of Highway 11 on Oro-Medonte's 8th Line, between Barrie and Orillia.
Spanning over 585 acres of pristine open green space, ″Burl’s Creek Event Grounds″ in Oro-Medonte, Ontario is the largest outdoor music venue in Canada. In 2017 the grounds will be home to WayHome Music & Arts Festival, Boots and Hearts Music Festival, OK Friday Farmer’s Market, The Big Feastival Canada, Huronia Fur and Feathers Swap Sale, and the long-running Spring and Fall Barrie Automotive Flea Markets.
Operating as an event park since 1984, "'Burl’s Creek'" changed ownership in 2014. Subsequent site alterations and landscaping developed 3 natural turf amphitheatres for optimal concert viewing. A 1930s timber-framed barn was carefully retrofitted into a centerpiece. Cat 5 Fibre cable was installed throughout the grounds that are serviced by an independent cellular system.
Burl’s Creek sits at the gateway to Ontario's cottage country along major Hwy 11. Situated in booming Simcoe County, the venue is 1 hour from the Greater Toronto Area, 45 minutes to Muskoka and under 15 minutes to Barrie or Orillia. The grounds are accessed via 3 separate concession roads with connection to two highway overpasses and the historic Ridge Road running from Barrie to Orillia.
