Drake’s OVO Fest looks to have become a staple event for Canada in its short existence. It’s been announced that the Fifth Annual OVO Fest is going to receive a $30,000 grant from the Celebrate Ontario program administered by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. This year’s festival will take place on Aug. 3-4 and will include performances from Drake, Outkast and what can be expected to be a star-studded line-up of surprise guests.

Grants distributed by Celebrate Ontario are meant to “enhance programs, activities and services that will lead to long-term improvements. This support helps grow tourism in the province by making it easier for festival and event organizers to offer new and improved experiences that will attract more tourists and increase visitor spending.”

Not many of the organizations grants are as high as $300,000, which means that there’s a large amount of support for what Drake’s bringing back to his native land of Ontario.

If you’re interested in trying to snag a pass to the festival two-day passes can be found online with prices between $124.80 and $347.50 and individual tickets can be found for as low $66.50.
