• Access to beverage tents with beer, wine, and cocktails

The Strictly Hip have spent years and thousands of performances respectfully and accurately recreating the music of The Tragically Hip with remarkable attention to musical detail. Originally conceived in 1995 in St. Catharines, Ontario, and now based in Buffalo, the band has built a loyal following performing for devoted Hip fans across North America.

This is far from a campy impersonator act. The music is performed with reverence, heart, accuracy, and fun, creating a powerful and nostalgic experience that celebrates one of Canada’s most iconic rock bands.
