Deep Roots Music Festival
Every September, on the last full weekend of the month, the Deep Roots Music Cooperative brings an awesome blend of up-and-coming, alongside tried-and-true, performers to our festival stages. As well, the weekend includes free events for all ages.
We are planning our 2025 program now, and you can count on a lot of our favourite festival features. Our parade is at the heart of the festival on Saturday at noon. Our affordable festival pass includes comfortable seats at 3 Main Stage shows with crowd-pleasing performers, 4 intimate workshops and artist collaborations, 2 night-time dances with cash bar, and, for those who love to sing, the annual Sunday morning sing-along ‘Rise Up Singing’ at Festival Theatre (where 1/2 the proceeds go to the local Food Bank).
Wolfville Summer Concert Series
The Wolfville Summer Concert Series, a partnership between Deep Roots and the Town of Wolfville, runs throughout the summer, each Sunday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 in the Waterfront Park in Wolfville.
Valley Arts Award
Presented at the Festival each September, the Valley Arts Award recognizes someone who is, or has been, a resident, has worked for the development and/or promotion of Valley artists, arts events, and/or culture; and has made a significant long-term contribution to the arts in the Valley.
Our 2024 recipient, Kim Barlow, was announced in early September. Nominations for 2025 should be sent before July 1st, in the form of a letter, or e-mail, outlining the contribution the individual has made to the cultural life of the region.
