Mumford & Sons' Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Simcoe
"We encourage everyone to explore.  Soak it up.  Enjoy the town.  There will be events happening into the night (and in the mornings for early risers).  If it's a town you've never been to, you've got no excuses; if it's the town you are from, thank you for having us.  We cannot wait."

~ Mumford & Sons

Gentlemen of The Road
"EACH GENTLEMEN OF THE ROAD STOPOVER celebrates the local food, culture, and music of an interesting small city or town.  We've handpicked these unique communities and have collaborated with our local partners to build a fun and intimate live music experience from the ground up..." ~ Mumford & Sons

Congratulations, Simcoe, Norfolk, on a job well done.  Shuttle buses carried visitors from off-site parking and camping to the heart of Simcoe ~ downtown.   Street fairs and business promotions attracted residents as well as people from British Columbia, New Brunswick, the U.S. and Europe to mention a few.

Main streets were closed to vehicles to accommodate the flow of an estimated thirty-five thousand visitors.
