World Electronic Music Festival

The World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) is an electronic music event held annually in Northern Ontario over a period of three days. It was run by Destiny Productions out of Toronto. In summer of 2008 Destiny put on what was said to be their last WEMF in Madawaska, however the event has returned in 2011. This festival was developed in 1995. At that time it was named "The World Trance Festival" which 2 years later was changed to The World Electronic Music Festival or WEMF. The festival ran from Friday through Sunday on an annual basis from 1995 to 2008 with attendance reaching 15,000 at its peak. With the popularity of EDM waning in the late 2000s, the festival took a 2 year hiatus in 2009 & 2010 but returned with a bang in 2011 and sold out its visually stunning but remote 5000 person venue.
