A new event is aiming to attract people to the Northeast to celebrate music.

The Haywire Farm Festival is set to take place on July 22^nd and July 23^rd with those attending able to enjoy different workshops, live art exhibits, food vendors, and musicians.

Organizer Patti Propp told northeastNOW that the festival will not only be filled with entertainment but also showcase local entrepreneurs.

“I’ve been really getting a lot of non-profit organizations and small businesses. So that’s been really nice partnerships with the community too.”

Propp previously organized music events in bars in Regina before moving to a farm in the Northeast.
