Ritchie Wharf Music
12 Norton's Lane Miramichi, NB, Canada

Greetings: To begin, I apologize for the tardiness in sending this but circumstances dictated I be out of the area and without internet availability. I have reviewed the latest order from the province along with the guidelines from Public Health and feel I must, in good conscience cancel music at Ritchie Wharf for the remainder of the season. This is a decision I make with a heavy heart but I would rather error on the side of caution than put people at risk. This has been a ...difficult summer to say the least but we must remain positive and look forward to next year. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Tim See more

Update on music at Ritchie Wharf. Although the province has further updated their regulations and restrictions regarding COVID -19, it is still not possible to have music at Ritchie Wharf and comply with the provincial guidelines. Therefore, entertainment at Ritchie Wharf is canceled until and including Sunday, August 9th. Should the mandatory order be modified to allow entertainment I will advise. In the meantime, please support musicians by attending the jams that have opened or will open in the near future. Thank you so much for your continued patience and understanding. Tim

Here is another update and unfortunately it is not good news. Although the province has updated their regulations and restrictions regarding COVID -19, it is still not possible to have music at Ritchie Wharf and comply with the provincial guidelines. Therefore, entertainment at Ritchie Wharf is canceled until and including Sunday, July 19. Should the mandatory order be modified to allow entertainment I will advise. Thank you for your patience.

Time for an update. Although the province is lifting some restrictions caused by COVID-19, it is still neither viable nor safe to have outdoor entertainment at Ritchie Wharf. As a result, all entertainment up to and including Sunday July 5 is canceled. Once more information is received from the province the situation will be re-assessed. I wish I had better news but for now this is the way it must be.... Thank you for you patience, Tim

Not quite there yet but getting closer. Tim

Great news from the Miramichi Rock 'N' Roll Festival. Tim

FYI, Ritchie's Fish and Chips will not be open today due to the heat. Tim

To (hopefully) avoid confusion. Music at Ritchie Wharf for the month of June is canceled. HOWEVER, Vera's (the bar upstairs) is open and Ritchie's Fish & Chips will be opening this Friday. Check with them for hours of operation, and of course COVID protocols will be in place. Not sure about the remaining shops. Tim

COVID-19 update. I spoke with a representative from the Miramichi Community Wellness and Recreation Dept. and entertainment at Ritchie Wharf for the month of June is canceled. The entertainers scheduled for the remainder of the month have been notified via e-mail. Please stay positive and follow the Provincial guidelines so we can help each other get back together. Tim

Virus update. I spoke with a representative from the city and music at Ritchie Wharf has been postponed. I am operating 2 weeks at a time and will update in the early part of the 2nd week of June. Performers who were scheduled between June 1st and June 13th inclusive have been notified. Below is the e-mail from Community Wellness and Recreation Department. Tim Just to confirm our conversation on May 22nd , the entertainment at Ritchie Wharf is cancelled until further notice due to the COVID 19 situation. We will revisit this should the maximum number of people permitted at a gathering increase to levels that will allow the entertainment to operate.

I'm sure most of you are aware but just in case you are not, Ritchie Wharf Music will not begin until the province relaxes restrictions put in place as a result of the pandemic. Until then, please be patient and stay apart for now so we can be together later. Tim

Couldn't resist sharing. Tim
