Prince Edward County's Base31 Adds Down With Webster, Ron Sexsmith, Charlotte Cardin & More To 2025 Summer Concert Lineup

Situated in Prince Edward County, Ontario, and now entering its fourth year of operations, the multi-stage Base31 venue recently announced a full slate of summer and fall concerts and festivals on its Drill Hall Stage.

A video of that has gone viral.
