Nova Scotia Summerfest on Columbus Field in Downtown Antigonish was quite the success in 2022. It returns again this year with a three day event taking place on August 17th, 18th and 19th.
The music features a powerful multi-genre lineup and an expansion of the event’s popular food and beverage segment.
Hitting the stage on August 18th is Matt Andersen & The Big Bottle of Joy featuring vocalists Reeny, Hailey & Micah Smith.
Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy hit the stage on August 19th. The two days of music will also include the return of last summer’s headliner Jimmy Rankin along with The Ennis Sisters, Dave Sampson, Fortunate Ones, Ocean Playground, Irish Mythen, Alicia Toner, Gordie MacKeeman & His Rhythm Boys, Elyse Aeryn and The Silver Wolf Band. The festival will once again be hosted by CTV’s Ana Almeida.
Opening night on Thursday August 17th will not feature live music, but will instead be the debut of the Nova Scotia Summer Fest Cookout. This new food and beverage specialty night will expand on the festival’s “Buy Local” approach to include well-known food and beverage companies from across Nova Scotia and Antigonish.
Tickets are now available through Eventbrite!
