FEO on the Air - Episode 71 - Scott Palko - Revelree Music Festival

In this episode of FEO on the Air we are joined by Scott Palko, Festival Director of the Revelree Music Festival. The 2023 event takes place July 21 & 22 at Canatara Park in Sarnia. Scott talks to us about this years event, the challenges he and her team faced, and changes to the event because of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The Revelree Music Festival has a goal to be more than just artists on a stage - they want to create a summer weekend filled with memorable performances, moments, and memories.

All fans of live entertainment have a specific show, or even a single song, that allows them to remember every detail about where they were, who they were with, who was performing, and why that exact occasion meant so much to them. Their hope is to help cultivate as many of these moments as possible for their guests over two days in July through every available means: top-tier performances, a safe and comfortable experience, a multitude of venue amenities, and a joyful crowd looking to experience those moments themselves.
