Music Festival

What’s New in 2025

As part of our evolution, we’re making an exciting change to our festival layout. We’re replacing the Blues Tent and Mojo Tent with a brand-new, larger main stage venue located at Officer’s Square. This upgraded venue will feature a new tent, more open-air space with better sightlines, additional seating, and an expanded capacity to comfortably host more than 5000 patrons!

Why The Change?

We saw the potential of the new Officer’s Square layout as it provides us with a tremendous opportunity to be bigger and better. Making this change allows us to pursue some incredible acts we previously couldn’t while doing our best to keep ticket and pass prices from needing to increase.  This evolution allows us to adapt to an ever-changing festival market and most importantly, we feel this change is essential to our festival staying sustainable for as long as possible. This new venue will provide patrons with more seating, a larger space, better sightlines for all, increased opportunities, enhanced atmosphere, and a flexible layout for growth.

What’s Staying the Same?

Don’t worry, the rest of the festival is pretty much what you’ve come to expect from Harvest! The Barracks Tent will remain our big fun space but welcome new blues based programming earlier in the evenings, and the Wilmot United Church Stage and The Playhouse will continue to add their unique charm. Our vibrant street experience will return, along with an amazing, diverse lineup of talent—international stars, East Coast gems, and emerging artists from around the world. And, of course, our dedicated volunteers will continue to bring the festival to life with the same community spirit and heart that has always made Harvest so special.

Stay Tuned For More Details!

We’re already working on creating a festival experience that will deliver unforgettable music memories. Further information about this change in venue model will be shared with you all as our planning develops. We are so excited to utilize this amazing space that we have in the heart of downtown Fredericton, to our fullest potential to bring new life to the festival.
