At the Hillside Festival, everyone is welcome! This inclusive fest is a safe space for all genders and races. It welcomes the Indigenous peoples, the LGBTQ2S+ community, people of colour, and everyone from all walks of life!

Kicking off at Lake Guelph Island from July 18 to 20, 2025, get ready for a whole weekend of sick beats, fun times, and overall good vibes!

Get pumped watching the artists perform on stage for the whole weekend! There’s a total of three stages to rock on: the Main, Island, and Lake Stages.

The impressive lineup is made up of pure talent, such as 3x Canadian Folk Music Award winner Abigail Lapell, indie pop duo Bibi Club, and Afrobeat powerhouse Femi Kuti & The Positive Force.
