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 working on our 2026 program plans already, 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 Main Stage shows with crowd-pleasing performers, intimate workshops and artist collaborations, 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. At our Festival Finale we will present 2026’s Valley Arts Award. We are looking forward to our 20th festival. We hope to see YOU there, September 24th to 27th, 2026.
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 2025 recipient, Peter Mowat, was announced in early September. Nominations for 2026 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.
