20 Canadian Music Festivals to Check Out in 2025!
If there was ever a year to stay on the Canadian side of the border and enjoy music festivals this season, it’s effing this one.
With everything going on, and knowing we’re in Festival Season planning time, we want to let you know about 20 music fests in Canada that you should check out in 2025.
We’ve got pop, rock, country, folk, EDM, and more. There are 2-day shows, and multi-day/night events.
We’ve got shows from coast to coast. And we know we didn’t get them all – so please drop a comment telling us about more festivals you know about and are going to in Canada this year.
Note: If you want to support music, check to see what your local options are too. In Oshawa, we’ve got Convergence who will be bringing Valley and Aysanabee to the main stage downtown. Maybe you have something cool like that in your town/city too!
Ready for a list? Ready for some music? Ready for festival season? Let’s go!
