About the festival:

The second annual TABU Music Festival held once again in the Waterloo Public Square has named The Waterloo Regional Suicide Prevention Council as its receiving charity.



The festival will be held during Suicide Prevention week and directly when students in Waterloo's University city will be back to classes. Prepared for an even bigger crowd, more fantastic music, a beer garden compliments of Maxwell's Music House, and the awareness that there is another way, I.R.I.S. Entertainment is excited to bring this annual festival back to the city.



Last August, nearly 2000 people crowded into Waterloo's Public Square to see 30 bands and The Trailer Park Boys' Randy and Mr. Lahey. The free music festival helped raise awareness of The Canadian Testicular Cancer Association.
