What does it take to help bring one of Orangeville’s most loved festivals to life?

In this episode of Rock n’ Realty Podcast, I sit down with Norm Trudeau, Volunteer Coordinator for the Orangeville Blues & Jazz Festival. Norm has been part of the festival for 22 years in multiple roles, and in this conversation, we go behind the scenes of what it really takes to run a major community event powered by music, volunteers, and a whole lot of heart. The 2026 festival runs June 5 to 7 in Orangeville.

We talk about:

• how Norm got involved
• what the volunteer team does behind the scenes
• what makes this festival such a big deal in Orangeville
• the impact it has on the town, local businesses, and visitors
• why music and community are such a powerful mix
