2008 marks the 11th Anniversary
of the City of Cambridge's Rock the Mill Youth Music Festival; RTM, a celebration of youth
artistic culture. The 11th Anniversary of Rock the Mill has been scheduled
to occur on
Saturday, August 9th, 2008 from 12:30 Noon until 10:30 PM at
Dickson Park.
Rock the Mill is a
FREE-admission show attended by thousands of youth and families. It begins
with performances by local youth talent and builds up to a headliner,
typically an act well positioned in the Canadian music scene. The festival also features the Subliminal Art Exhibit, Vendors and much more.
Last year we had over 30 bands on 4 stages, Anywhere Skate Park, food vendors, the Subliminal Art Exhibit, art vendors, and interactive art activities

RTM is the
only established event of its kind in the Tri-City, and strives to provide
an opportunity for local youth to perform as well as to provide an
entertaining showcase of music for the community, in a safe, alcohol and
drug free environment.
This summer, the show will grow again as it will move from its outgrown-home
in the Mill Race Park and move into Dickson Park. We expect to have
approximately 10 000 music lovers in attendance throughout the day, as was the case last year.
The festival now holds a firm place in the southern Ontario summer music
schedule. Rock the Mill 2007 generated attention from local and national newspapers,
local and national radio and music industry publications.
The event had music industry professionals in attendance representing The Agency Group, EMI Music: A&R Department, Chris Smith Management, Dine Alone Records, Underground Operations and more getting a free preview of what the Tri-City and surrounding area has to offer.
