  • Acknowledging the unceded territories

    We are committed to Reconciliation and respectfully acknowledge that our festival is situated on the  Mi’kmaw territory, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. We honour their presence, stewardship and strength in this area since time immemorial. We are grateful to be a guest on this territory.

  • Supporting Local

    The 2025 50/50 raised a total jackpot of $112,750!

    Through the Great Outdoors Community Fund, a portion of festival proceeds over the past two summers has gone to support the Canadian Progress Club: Halifax and their various local initiatives.

Getting Here

Located at the base of Citadel Hill, the Garrison Grounds is a natural amphitheatre overlooking Halifax’s waterfront. Ticket holders can take it in from the hillside to the east. There’s no dedicated festival parking, per sé…so walking, biking, or ride-sharing is encouraged. (It’s our way of ensuring you arrive relaxed, not circling and quietly spiraling.)
