Riverfest Elora is coming back to Bissell Park in 2018, and they’re bringing a spectacular list of artists to play the three-day August festival.

With 57 acts scheduled to play Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (August 17-19), there is no shortage of excitement and anticipation for the 10th anniversary of the beloved small-town music festival.

As with any festival boasting this many names, there is a fantastic selection of emerging talent included. Acts like The Beaches, Caveboy, Weaves, FXRRVST, and Goodnight, Sunrise will be doing their best to leave with more fans than they came with. And if our previous experience seeing some of those acts on stage is any indication, the Riverfest faithful won’t be disappointed.

But that’s not all.

Riverfest Elora 2018 is also bringing major names to the stage to headline the festival. With acts including Blue Rodeo, The Flaming Lips, Carly Rae Jepsen, and July Talk all set to perform.

Note: Blue Rodeo returns to headline Riverfest Elora to help celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary. The band played as Saturday headliners in 2014 and will be Sunday headliners, closing the festival, in 2018.

With three stages on site, and a host of Friday and Saturday After Party locations, Riverfest Elora 2018 is well set up to give attendees options. Sometimes this feels like a burden depending on your favourites and the schedule, but it’s also a chance to check out the different vibes, new acts, and more.
