In addition to the many mainstage concerts taking place at the Algonquin Theatre as part of the Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HFA) summer season, there are ongoing fringe events, which for the most part are free courtesy of the HFA.
Over the coming week, the Music at Noon series continues at Trinity United Church with the Olde Tyme Gospel Band (July 8), John Langille and Bob Attfield on organ and piano (July 9), Muskoka Community Band (July 10), Trillium Jazz Guys (July 13), soprano Bridget Mantha with Broadway show tunes (July 14), Marilyn de Lang and Brenda Smallwood on piano and flute (July 15), soprano Victoria Thompson and pianist John French (July 16), and Steven McKean on oboe and Marion Haggart on piano (July 17).
Don’t miss the outdoor theatre extravaganza for all ages, presented by Edge of the Woods Theatre Festival and taking place at the town dock and River Mill Park on July 10 and 11, beginning at 6 p.m.
For a fun and totally different night of entertainment, join celebrated composer Robert Bruce on July 13 at the Algonquin Theatre at 8 p.m. Bruce will recreate the golden days of silent film by performing live original scores to accompany classic 1920s films.
The focus that evening will be on Buster Keaton and include one of his funniest works, titled The Cameraman.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a correction to the information in the festival’s brochure with respect to the two dock concerts. The Muskoka Concert Band will play at the Port Sydney dock on July 14 (not July 16 as printed) and at the Dwight Beach dock on July 16 (not July 14).
Both concerts begin at 7 p.m. and admission is free.
