Well, duh, right? The sponsors have sponsored it. The performers have put in their videos. Your job is to watch and enjoy (and we hope you do - on Facebook and YouTube on August 21, 2021, and then for however long we can leave the show online). Otherwise, we've truly all wasted our time, right? But, wait, there's more...

Are the performers just doing the show out of the goodness of their hearts? Well, actually, for the most part, yeah. Every year we are amazed by the dedication and love that Strummerfest performers demonstrate. They love the event because they love the cause. It's only fair to give the love right back to them.
Check out their websites, Facebook pages, and Instagram accounts, search for them on YouTube, Bandcamp, ReverbNation, Soundcloud, MySpace, or wherever you find great music. Download their tunes, buy their CD's, and, when this pandemic is finally over, go, go, go to see their shows!

Each year Strummerfest receives support from a number of businesses - most of them local to the Kitchener-Waterloo area, but many with a wider reach, and all of them with the biggest hearts. Sure, companies sponsor events, in part, as a kind of advertising -- but we know a lot of these sponsors personally, and we know that there's much more to it here. They sponsor not just because it fits their marketing mandate, but because it reflects their values. They care about their communities, and they care about the causes Strummerfest represents and supports. They seem to come back year after year -- even in a year like this one, when giving away sponsorship money isn't easy -- because of a willing kindness, and we really appreciate it. Without them, Strummerfest couldn't be offered as a free event, and we'd never have as much to give to those causes... speaking of which...
