The story

Harvest Music Festival in Fredericton

The Harvest Music Festival closes downtown Fredericton streets each September for several days of roots, blues, and folk music across free outdoor stages and ticketed indoor venues. Built on the legacy of the long-running Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, the event mixes Maritime and touring performers along Queen Street as the city shifts into early autumn.

Downtown Fredericton closes streets to traffic each September when the Harvest Music Festival turns Queen Street and the surrounding blocks into a multi-stage roots, blues, and folk music event.
