UPDATE: We are all sold out of camping passes! There are still single day and weekend (no camping) passes available, but you better get them quick!

The excitement continues to mount for the ALL CAPS! Island Festival, coming up August 13th & 14th and sure to be a highlight of your summer. Though this is the second Island Fest, and the sixth annual summertime event under the ALL CAPS! banner, 2011 marks a lot of firsts, including never-before seen visual art & music collabs co-curated with Whippersnapper Gallery: Jennifer Castle with Yuula Benivolski; Evening Hymns with Scott Cudmore; and DD/MM/YYYY and The Wooden Sky with Joshua Bardnt and Adrian Dilena. And of course it's the first time you can camp out overnight at a music event on Toronto Island!

We're also proud to unveil this year's festival poster, designed once again by Derek Ma — and again calling our civic attention to the Gibraltar Point lighthouse, a very short walk from our home base at the Artscape Gibraltar Point arts centre. Completed in 1808, they say it's the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes. And it may well be haunted. Aaa-oooh.
