Beautifully situated on picturesque Lower Beverly Lake just outside Delta, Ontario, Birch Island is home to the ZAMFIR music festival every June on the weekend of the summer solstice. 2012 marks ZAMFIR's 16th year!
Running potable water, newly renovated kitchen and bathroom facilities, dry sauna, high-speed wi-fi, swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, and two fire pits are all available.
Meals are a communal event and everyone is encouraged to participate in cooking and/or bringing food from home. Materials are available for labeling your contributions and ingredients for those with allergies/sensitivities. There is a barbecue, stove, oven, and microwave available. BYOB; coolers and ice are recommended.
Camping is encouraged, though accommodations in the cottage or cabin can be arranged with George in advance.
Cost will be $20 per night per person, $10 for a day pass, $60 for the whole weekend, either payable when you first board the pontoon boat or (new) via Pre-Pay using PayPal. Please contact George in advance to make alternate arrangements if cost is an issue. We always need volunteers to make preparations if you'd rather lighten our load instead of your wallet!
We ask that you try to reduce the amount of disposable packaging of food etc, and wherever possible, please use biodegradable soaps to preserve the lake's ecosystem.
Please take note that this is a private event and you must be invited to attend. If you have been invited and wish to bring someone with you, other than your spouse or significant other, please ask first. Anyone that you bring is your responsibility so bring only folks who will behave responsibly and play well with others!
Live music from great bands every night on our wonderful stage, good company, and lots of fun await!
