The Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation is proud to announce its first annual Bruce County Bash in partnership with 97.9 The Bruce and Three Sheets Brewing, taking place on Saturday, August 19 at the Coliseum in Southampton.

This exciting fundraising event will feature two amazing bands, 54-40 & Tommy Youngsteen, who will be performing LIVE in concert.

The Bruce County Bash is a new addition to the hospital foundation’s Gran Fondo Lake Huron fundraising cycling event and is sure to be a hit with music lovers and cycling enthusiasts alike. The concert is designed to add to the excitement of the weekend and create an opportunity for more people across the region who don’t cycle to take part in the Gran Fondo Lake Huron festivities.

54-40 is Canada’s rock band that has been making music for over three decades with a huge following of dedicated fans. Tommy Youngsteen is a well-known classic rock tribute band that recreates the legendary music of Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty and Neil Young (featuring members and alum from Arkells, Trews, Sloan, and Sam Roberts Band).

This promises to be a night of high energy, fantastic music, and plenty of fun with bar service provided by Three Sheets Brewing and multiple food trucks on site for the evening including Low and Slow Craft BBQ, Food on the Move, Southampton Rotary and Beavertails.

Tickets for the Bruce County Bash will be on sale at 10:00AM on Friday March 10, 2023 and can be purchased online at www.smhfoundation.ca.

Tickets are non-refundable. This is a 19+ event.
Proceeds from the event will go toward local mental health initiatives.
