OK, but how the heck does The Persuit of Happiness (i had no idea they were playing again) get lower billing than Elton Rohn [sic] and the boringly named Neil Diamond Tribute?

I think it's in alphabetical order.

Right - doi.

The Persuit of Happiness (i had no idea they were playing again)

I think they played the Horseshoe recently. And Moe Berg has played a dozen or so gigs with The Transcanada Highwaymen (a Cdn super group: The Transcanada Highwaymen ).

I've long been interested in this festival, but been scared away by the apparently huge crowds and traffic.
Can anyone compare to Port Credit's Southside Shuffle?

This seems to be getting bigger every year. Unfortunately, we're going to be leaving the area around the 6th of June.

I have been to both many times. Burlington's is mostly free (IIRC the Shuffle used to be free).
In Burlington access from the highway is more convenient, and parking is well organised with shuttles from large lots.
There is a shuttle from the GO train station so you can also get on the GO in Mississauga.
You can usually find street parking within a 15 minute walk also. Try west of Maple St., or come down Guelph Line, go west on New St. and start looking north of New once you're west of Drury Lane. Walk west on New to Brant and enjoy the street performances on Brant.
The crowds do get large, but we usually can find seating in the beer area, so who cares?
