Hubbards Barn Hoedown

The Hubbards Barn Hoedown is a high-energy summer barn dance and fundraiser held at the historic Hubbards Barn, a meticulously restored 1830s structure at 57 Highway 3 in the heart of the Hubbards community. This single-night celebration brings together live country and folk music, community dancing, and genuine Maritime hospitality in one of the South Shore's most beloved heritage buildings.

The 2026 Hoedown features live musical guests playing foot-stomping country and East Coast Celtic tunes, a full cash bar, and a family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes dancers of all skill levels. The Barn's dance floor fills up quickly, so arriving early is recommended. Ticket proceeds support the Hubbards Barn Association, a volunteer-run community organization that also operates the popular Hubbards Farmers' Market from May through October.

Hubbards is perfectly situated between Halifax and the South Shore, with the beautiful Hubbards Beach and Queensland Beach Provincial Park nearby. Whether you're a seasoned square dancer or a first-time hoedown attendee, the Hubbards Barn Hoedown offers an authentic slice of Nova Scotia community life and a chance to experience one of the province's best-preserved historical barns at its liveliest.
