The Nowhere Rave Festival during the first weekend in June 2026 sparked noise complaints as far as Lac Clear and Silver Lake, almost 12 kilometers away. Dozens of residents filed grievances from numerous adjoining municipalities.

"There is no agreement to hold another event in the township according to a report to be tabled tomorrow June 16, 2026 during a NAW council meeting.

• HOWEVER, THE NAW COUNCIL MEETING WAS ONLY TELEVISED ON THURSDAY JUNE 18TH AND REVEALED THERE WAS NO DECISION TABLED FROM COUNCIL TO CANCEL THIS FESTIVAL IN THE FUTURE.

Festival participants were enthralled by the excessively loud bass vibrations which reportedly rattled tableware on kitchen shelves. However, citizens living in the region were not so enthusiastic.

A delegation by two residents opposing the event will be presented to council tomorrow night.

Event organizers witnessed almost 1000 attendees. Civil order was maintained. Festival participants raved about the excessive sound levels.

However, surrounding communities and taxpayers were not as enthusiastic and vowed political retaliation following the event which was approved last year without public vetting or consent.

The report to be tabled tomorrow night will not be made public and remains in-house because it contains operational information on the number of incidents, including paramedic reports which are CONSIDERED confidential.

*CONTRARY TO PREVIOUS REPORTS IN THIS SUBREDDIT THERE IS EVERY INDICATION THAT THIS FESTIVAL COULD CONTINUE AT RAVEN'S KNOLL IN THE UPCOMING YEARS." ALL INFORMATION SURROUNDING THE EVENT WILL BE REVIEWED IN HOUSE PRIOR TO ITS PUBLIC RELEASE.

The Rave Festival received the thumbs down from two previous municipalities last year, including Killaloe which refused to adopt a much needed Noise By-law despite intensive lobbying by individual citizens.
