The festival of contemporary music Maple Rock, which will feature singers, musicians and poets of the Russian-speaking community of Canada, will be held in Ontario on July 19-21, the festival website reports. The festival will feature performances by recognized singers, and there will be an open microphone, so any guest will be able to demonstrate their creativity.

The first Russian rock festival was held in Ontario in the early 2000s. Since then, events that have been able to rally the singing representatives of the Russian diaspora have regularly been held. The participants are supported by the Rus.to creative club and one of the Russian-language radio stations of Toronto.

Concerts of Russian rock, bard songs and classic rock and roll will be held at the festival sites. In the intervals between performances, viewers will be able to acquire a useful skill by attending Japanese workshops on weaving or making toys. Guests will be able to try Russian dishes.
