Lake Joe Live is the event everyone’s buzzing about – get your tickets before we sell out!
We're bringing the community together on Saturday, August 16, 2025, for Lake Joe Live ft. The Trews Acoustic Trio presented by IG Private Wealth Management Throssell Group.
Previously known as “Cookout with Cuddy,” this annual celebration is a highlight of the summer, and this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Join us for an evening of connection and celebration featuring gourmet food with a local twist, signature cocktails, a high-energy auction, and a live acoustic performance by Canadian rock icons The Trews Acoustic Trio. With Joan Kelley Walker and Rick Campanelli as our hosts, the night will be full of music, laughter, and stories from the CNIB Lake Joe community! And every ticket sold helps raise funds to support barrier-free camp experiences for Canadians who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision.
“This camp is such a special place, and every dollar raised makes a difference for someone living with sight loss. I’m honoured to help make that magic happen,” says Co-Chair Jayne McCaw.
Fellow Co-Chair Genevieve Roch-Decter adds, “Supporting CNIB Lake Joe means giving people a place where everyone feels they truly belong — enjoying the great outdoors, warm summer days, music, food, and time with family and friends. I’m proud to co-chair this year and help make that magic possible for everyone.”
Don’t wait because tickets are selling fast! This event has sold out every year, and with this year’s all-star lineup and growing excitement, we expect it to fill up even quicker.
“As Co-Chairs of Lake Joe Live, we’re proud to support such an important cause and help raise critical funds for CNIB Lake Joe,” Jayne and Genevieve share. “We’re especially grateful to our incredible committee: Jack Creasy, Sylvia Mantella, Helen Hunt, Graeme Secord, Kristi Pahapill, and Lauren Cooper, for their creativity and dedication in bringing this event to life, and for their amazing work in securing sponsorship and auction support to make this year’s event our biggest yet.”
