Harvest Moon Music Festival & Pijinuiskaq Paddle Festival

Harvest Moon Festival returns for its 5th year from September 18th–19th, 2026, at Pijinuiskaq Park in Downtown Bridgewater, along with Pijinuiskaq Paddle Fest from September 19th-20th!

Proudly presented by Arby’s, this multi-day celebration brings together live music, local food, paddling adventures, and community connection. This year, the festival also celebrates the Park’s 10th summer as a vibrant gathering place, honouring the LaHave River’s Mi’kmaq name: Pijinuiskaq (“River of Many Branches”).

Highlights include FREE evening concerts, the Big Canoe Experience, Saturday night headliner (announcement coming soon!), fireworks display, and the closing Pijinuiskaq Mass Paddle on Sunday.
