Festival executive director Dave Miller said he was particularly pleased that Walk Off The Earth was able to make it to the festival. The festival, in partnership with the city of Burlington, announced Thursday it is holding a special Canada 150 celebration at Spencer Smith Park on the downtown waterfront with an all-Burlington musical lineup. The June 11 concert will be the Burlington-based pop-rock band's first Sound of Music performance in five years. Last year, Walk off the Earth was named group of the year at the Juno Awards in Calgary. Since that time, the band has gained international recognitions, as well as seven Juno nominations.
