Look up Northtek. It's a free festival that's generally in northern Ontario. I'm not sure if it's the same place every year but last year it was about 2 hours north of Ottawa (maybe on the Quebec side actually). I don't think it hits 10 000 people at all, but the people I know who went had a good time. It's all DIY, so people who come set up they're own stages and stuff, so it's not as big as WEMF but it's outdoor camping and rave.

These days, we have to get it when and as we can - infrequently and in small doses. I played at this year's Beatroot as well, t'was fun times! Give that little fest some time and it may grow to meet your expectations.

Oh definitely. If im in the area next summer I really want to help Curtis with promotion and getting some more people out. There were some solid local DJ's there.

"scaring away the loons" was actually a quote in an orangeville newspaper in regards to WEMF and the bylaw they passed to prevent WEMF from ever returning.

Eclipse. Shambhala. Burning Man. And so on. I went to five outdoor EDM festivals last season. There are so many to choose from now, big or small. Ontario is a bit vacant, it's true... but you don't have to go much further afield to hit up something good.

(Why people revere WEMF is really beyond me. I went to three and they were all a complete mess. Sketchy as hell.)
