Moonshine: Finish Line
Donation protected
The Moonshine Cafe is more than a business. It is more than a bar and live music venue. It is a community, a place where people from all walks of life gather together to share a love of music! For nearly nineteen years, we met at 137 Kerr Street in Oakville, Ontario, and now it's time to start a new chapter in our story. In early 2025, we will open the doors at 568 Kerr Street, a few blocks north of our original location. To get there, we need your help.
Over the past year, a whole lot of planning and dreaming happened behind the scenes to figure out a way to keep the Moonshine open. We knew the lease was up, and that Jane MacKay wanted to retire. In September, Jane announced that Mike Wharton would take over the business, and you could feel the relief in the community knowing that our future was in good hands.
Many volunteers stepped forward to help with the transition, including some very generous benefactors who helped pay the first big bills. Now, it's time to look to the wider Moonshine community to ask for help to get us the rest of the way. We're looking for money to cover the final costs of the renovation, so that we can open without the burden of a huge debt and crippling interest rates. A live music venue is a risky business to undertake, but we know we can beat the odds when we all rally together!
Thank you so much for the support!!
