There’s a chance you won’t notice much change at Countryfest this year, even with legal marijuana. 

We spoke with the General Manager of Countryfest Rob Woloschuk, to find out if any changes are on the horizon for the festival.

“I really don’t think it’s going to be any different. We’ve always had a no smoking policy. This isn’t anything different. What it changes for us is too soon to tell.”

“At this point, we’re like everybody else we’re just learning the rules and getting all that stuff in place. One of the things in particular that has come out is the fact that there is no smoking cannabis in public areas or at public events. Right now we are considered a public area and a public event. So those rules would be in place for us, just like anywhere else.”

By the time the festival comes around next summer, Woloschuk says the committee will be more aware of the rules around legal pot.
