A MUSICAL WEEKEND UNDER THE GARDEN MARQUEE TENT

Music @ The Gardens is a weekend music festival that brings Canadian artists from various genres together to celebrate live music in the great outdoors. Set in our marquee tent and surrounded by acres of forests, winding trails, and meadows, Music @ The Gardens is a magical musical experience.

Our festival weekend is back for it’s THIRD year, featuring some returning classics, new national darlings, and a special Sunday matinee perfect for the whole family! Join us Friday night as we welcome Canadian folk rock band Great Lake Swimmers to the Gardens for the first time, sharing their critically acclaimed indie rock sounds. At Saturday’s matinee we’re shaking things up with bluegrass string band Peter Porcelain and the American Standard! Saturday evening we welcome back festival favourite John McDermott and band for his soulful Celtic ballads, and Sunday’s matinee brings some fun for the whole family with comedy magic duo Brent & Sarah! Finally, we close out the festival Sunday evening with Susan Aglukark, who brings her unique blend of Inuit folk music traditions with country/pop songwriting.

At Abbey Gardens, our mission is to create recreational, educational, and agricultural opportunities to live more sustainably.

Through restoration and reforestation projects, a market garden rooted (literally!) in nutrient rich produce, public trails, partnerships with socially driven local businesses like Haliburton Highlands Brewing and Haliburton Solar and Wind, and our programming and events calendar, the goal at Abbey Gardens is to establish ourselves as a gathering place for our community. Hosting events like Music @ The Gardens is an important part of how we serve our neighbours, and we can’t wait to hear the sounds of live music and entertainment drifting across our 300 acres!
