20 artists and bands performed at this year's Lutsong Music Festival at Caribou Highlands in front of 240 ticket holders - twice the attendance as last year's inaugural event. Artist sets of 45 to 90 minutes kept the audience entertained throughout the event's 3-day schedule. Molly Maher, one of the Lutsong organizers, “Thanked the community for attending the event and looks forward to growing even further in future years”.

Scott Schuler, another event organizer, told Boreal Community Media "
It was a magical event with an unbelievable lineup of talent. We are so grateful to all of the musicians and support staff etc. On behalf of Molly Maher, Chuck Corliss, and myself, we want to say thank you to all the attendees, as well as our sponsors. This includes a special thanks to Caribou Highlands, Cook County Home Center, Lake and Company, National Parks of Lake Superior, and The Current."

A separate stage at the North Shore Winery offered festival attendees a main stage performance in the evenings.
