It’s that time of the year again on the East Coast when old-time music is celebrated in the mountains. For the 52nd time, the Annual Bluegrass & Oldtime Music Festival is strumming the strings in Nova Scotia!

Happening from July 24 to 27, 2025, at the BeechBrook Campground in Ardoise, this awesome fest will bring together talented musicians, including award-winning acts, to the stage for over 20 hours of performances.

Expect a slew of chart-topping names, including Volume Five, Seth Mulder & Midnight Run, and The Spinney Brothers. Then, get ready to listen to various genres of acoustic music, like country, folk, and of course… bluegrass! 

But hey, jamming isn’t all that’s happening here! Attendees can join workshops, swap vinyl records, participate in games, taste delicious local food, and meet new people!

If you’re ready to vibe with the tunes, head over to Eventbrite to get the best seats in the campsite! It’s a weekend of fun and music in the outdoors! Don’t forget to check out the website for updates!
