About Deep Roots
 |
usical roots stretch deep and wide, twining people together in a shared experience of culture and heritage. The Canadian Deep Roots Music Festival celebrates Nova Scotia's rich and diverse musical traditions - blending the music of our founding cultures with modern roots music from across North America and around the world. The three-day festival kicks off Friday afternoon with the "Artists at Acadia" seminar series. Activities especially for young people take place throughout the three days. Most Festival activities take place indoors.

pectacular Main Stage Evening Concerts take place in Acadia University's historic Convocation Hall on Friday and Saturday. Friday and Saturday nights' Late Night events are opprtunities to enjoy music in a party atmosphere. Saturday's day-time offerings include intimate concerts and participatory workshops - singing, folk dancing, drumming, and an all-ages rhythm workshop. We hope to have a sparkling September Saturday to enjoy the "Fresh Beats Rhythm Parade" followed by a free family-oriented concert in our Festival Tent. (If it is pouring rain, the parade will be cancelled. If it is a light drizzle, we'll go ahead with rain coats and gum boots. The concert in the tent will go ahead rain or shine!) On Sunday everyone loves to take part in the Sing-along Concert and the Festival Finale.
