About Deep Roots Music Festival
The Deep Roots Music Festival is a beloved annual celebration of folk, roots, and acoustic music set in the charming university town of Wolfville in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. Since 2004, the festival has brought together established and emerging artists for a weekend of concerts, workshops, and community celebrations in one of the province's most picturesque settings.
The 2026 lineup features a diverse mix of Maritime folk tradition-bearers, national roots acts, and international guests, performing across multiple venues including the Al Whittle Theatre, the Wolfville Farmers' Market, and outdoor stages. The festival's intimate scale means audiences can mingle with artists between sets, creating a warm and collaborative atmosphere.
Beyond the music, Deep Roots celebrates the cultural fabric of the Annapolis Valley with a harvest market, children's programming, and a popular contra dance. Wolfville's vibrant dining scene, nearby wineries, and stunning Bay of Fundy tides make this festival a perfect anchor for an Annapolis Valley getaway.
