The Mariah Series, Forever & Always Festival takes place THIS SUNDAY (July 29, 2012) at the Waterloo Public Square.

In an effort to raise awareness of teen suicide and depression, The Mariah Series has been presenting events across the region since inaugural show at Maxwell’s Music House on March 3rd.

Mariah Simcoe-Dawson was a beautiful, talented, young spirit who suicided when she was 15. Her legacy lives on through the family, friends, and supportive team of Mariah’s Mission and the music of the talented women who perform monthly at The Mariah Series shows.

We’ll be back next season with another cast of female singer/songwriters, but before we go, check out our admission-free, outdoor festival in the Waterloo Public Square, noon-8pm Sunday, July 29.
