THE WASAGA BEACH FEST STAFF SPOTLIGHT: PAT CARPIGNANO A career spanning over 20 years in the food and beverage industry and a long-time member of the Beaches Lions Club, Pat is proud to be Co-Producer of the Wasaga Beach Fest along side long-time partner and friend Lido Chilelli. Pat discovered a love for producing back in his high school years where he took on the role of producer for school dances, drama productions and many other extracurricular activities. His natural talent and purposeful approach to managing complicated stage productions quickly progressed steering Pat towards his long-standing role in promoting a diverse array of musical genres (Jazz, Blues, R&B, Rock – to name a few) for the community. A strong family man and father of three, Pat is also Co-Producer for the Barrie Waterfront Festival, Waterfront Blues, Corso Italia Toronto Fiesta, Y108 Rock ‘n’ Role Picnic and of course, the Beaches International Jazz Festival. Wasaga Beach welcomes Pat and is excited by his design ideas for the 95.1 THE PEAK Stage and the Family Stage. Pat has seen great success co-producing summer festivals across Southern Ontairo and we hope the Wasaga Beach Fest will become a lasting August tradition!
