In just
six years, SappyFest has emerged as one of the most exciting
and acclaimed independent music festivals in Canada. Run by artists for
artists, SappyFest has developed its fanbase and reputation
through innovative programming that focuses on creativity and
community. The festival’s uniqueness lies in combining the atmosphere of
a folk festival, with an eclectic, contemporary lineup, set against the
backdrop of Sackville’s historic downtown. The main stage is presented
in the centre of town on the core commercial street, with smaller
adjacent venues including an outdoor bandstand, art deco theatre, turn
of the century church, Royal Canadian Legion, and a haunted roadhouse,
all within walking distance. For three days at the height of summer,
this picturesque little maritime town comes alive with a diverse
program of independent music complemented by visual art, contemporary
dance, readings, a small press fair, screenings, and street market.
