Sappyfest XX 🎺

We are now accepting applications for Sappyfest XX, Sappyfest’s 20th anniversary, taking place August 1-3, 2025.

Applications close on Monday, January 6th, 2025.

Sappyfest is an annual independent music and arts festival that takes place in the heart of downtown Sackville, New Brunswick. Known for its exciting lineups of emerging and celebrated artists working in all genres of music and sound, Sappyfest also programs poetry, dance, film, visual and performance art.

Sappyfest encourages musicians and makers to think of auxiliary projects that might bring our small town to life – are there any other forms of creative expression or collaborations that you would like to experiment with? If you can dream it, we’d love to hear about it!

We endeavour to reply to everyone who submits an application, but please note that depending on the volume of submissions we receive, we may only be able to contact those who we think we can program this year. Thank you for your interest and time! XX Sappyfest XX
