AURORAPALOOZA, the vibrant celebration of music, art, and food, is set to take place again this year in Town Park, Aurora, Ontario, on August 17, 2024. The brainchild of Aurora resident JOEL GOUVEIA, Aurorapalooza started as a passion project in the year of the pandemic. During a time of societal disconnection, Joel recognized the essential role of music and community in nurturing mental health and wellness. Driven by this insight, he set out to establish a platform where local musicians could shine, highlighting the importance of the role that music can play in the mental wellness path that many Canadians face day-to-day.
Now, in its 5th go around, Aurorapalooza has not only survived, it has grown into a cornerstone of Ontario’s music, community, and arts scene, showcasing an impressive lineup of headliners, emerging talents spanning various genres, homegrown artisans, and delectable food vendors, all set against the backdrop of Aurora’s beloved Town Park.
Music act set to perform at this year’s event are The Free Label, The Lemon Pistols, Rubber Tire Peep Show, Black Paint, Glenn Marais & the Mojo Train, Yellow Magnolia, Tangent and singer-songwriter Boy Wonder, Bijaan and Dom. Additionally, the highly anticipated neo-soul sensation, Juno Award-nominated Katie Tupper has been announced as this year’s headliner.
The event is more than just entertainment; it’s about making a difference. Notably, this marks the inaugural year of the festival’s official status as a not-for-profit organization, further solidifying its dedication to charity and philanthropy.
Aurorapalooza has experienced remarkable growth since its inception. Gouveia credits its success over the years to the strength of its local partnerships and unwavering support from Aurora’s vibrant community. “The support from our community this year has been unbelievable,” he says. “The evolution from a little concert in the park four years ago, to a full-blown music festival with people from all over coming together for a great cause is something I’ll never take for granted. We’re expecting to become a multi-day festival in the coming years, and the best part about it all is that it takes place in the small town that I grew up in, the place that is so close to my heart.”
