Information for Artists Opening Night

Hello everyone!

We’re excited to announce that our Opening Night reception will take place on July 8, 2026, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Hubbard’s Barn (57 Hwy, Nova Scotia Trunk – the same location as the Hubbard’s Market). It’s the perfect way to kick off this year’s festival!

For the most part, the event will run similarly to last year.
