Event Details: What is the Go North Music Festival?
Go North Music Festival is a music festival held on beautiful St. Joseph Island. Go North is a family-friendly event, with free entry for kids 12 and under. We feature a variety of talented and critically acclaimed musical acts from across Canada.

Our Festival weekend lines up with the Richards Landing Community Night weekend.

Thursday night, kick things off with an evening of music for our Go North country fans at the Centennial Grounds Timber Stage.

Friday Night, the Richards Landing Community Night is held at the Centennial Grounds - Parade starts on HWY 548 at 7pm, followed by fresh baked pie, food vendors, kids games and games of chance - all in support of the Matthews Memorial Hospital NSHN Auxiliary to help provide equipment for the Hospital. After games end (8:30pm) the fun moves down to the waterfront Marina for the Boat Parade of Lights, FREE live concert , and a late evening ticketed Country and Western Dance at the Old Town Hall!

Saturday, the Go North Music Festival gates open at 3:30pm. Saturday night’s headliner is BIG SUGAR! Since the 90's Big Sugar have been a staple on the airwaves and built a following with songs like 'Diggin A Hole', 'If I Had My Way', 'Turn The Lights On' and 'Roads Ahead' featuring Gordie Johnson’s signature guitar playing have built a loyal following, earning Big Sugar a Road Gold Award as they continue to sell out concerts across North America. Check out the full line up here!

The festival site features a lush green-space, nestled in the center of old growth maple trees. The Centennial grounds are built for large events, and offer wide open spaces and room to stretch out and make a zone for you and your crew.

We focus on featuring great food vendors. Don't forget we offer ice cold locally-made and domestic beer and coolers. The Artisan Market showcases local artisans and producers selling hand made local goods.

We have activities for kids and a kid’s stage with an amazing children’s entertainer keeping them clapping!

Kids 12 and under are FREE! The family zone has interactive displays from Science North, games, crafts and a giant community mural project families can help with.

Plan your festival experience to include overnight camping. Details available on the ticket page.

Family Zone, Marketplace and food vendors will be on Saturday only. GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!!!!
