The fight against cancer got a large shot in the arm thanks to the McGregor Music Festival again this year. Eight bands, a pig auction, car show, raffles and more were among the highlights of the festival, not to mention nice weather, and all proceeds benefit the patient assistance fund with the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation. Sue LeClair, head of the volunteer organizing committee, said Sunday afternoon that everything was unfolding well. “It’s going OK,” she said. “I’m sure we’re going to hit 1,000 people. The pig auction is the big highlight. It does look like another fantastic year. It’s going strong.” LeClair said the the raffles were going well as well. It was the 34th annual McGregor Music Festival, with the 33rd annual in 2024 raising $95,000. As is tradition, the final fundraising total from this year’s festival won’t be announced until July.

Sponsors and volunteers were thanked as were the bands and the public. “Without (the bands), we wouldn’t have anything. The bands make this happen,” she said. Bands included C2C Entertainment, Crowbar Hotel, Jammin’ for Wellness, Looking Back, Bad Moustache, Krazy Kenny and the Cruisers, Exit 31 and The All Nighters. Organizers also credited the festival’s consistency from year-to-year, the community, and the volunteers ability to work together for the festival’s success. “The weather has a lot to do with it,” said LeClair. There were approximately 150 tickets sold for the rib dinner, she added. LeClair said cancer touches everyone’s lives and families in some way. She added the McGregor Music Festival is the biggest fundraiser in Essex County for the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation.
