      The festival takes place from June 30 to July 2 for Canada Day long weekend at a 275-acre ranch in Cowichan Lake. Laketown Shakedown has been running since 2018 (with an understandable break during the pandemic), but it’s looking like 2023 is set to be its biggest year yet. 

      Festival and camping tickets will go on sale starting this Friday, March 17 at 9am at the Laketown Shakedown website.
