Overview

About

Founded in 2014 by the team behind Ottawa's Bluesfest, this Canadian folk and roots music festival takes place in small historic community halls across eastern Ontario, in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark counties. The concept draws on the Small Halls festivals that originated in Prince Edward Island and later Australia, favouring intimate, human scale venues over large stages.
