Full Circle Festival

Full Circle Festival is a grassroots, volunteer-powered, musician-centered celebration of music, creativity, and community. What started as a small gathering of friends has grown into a summer solstice tradition that draws people from across Nova Scotia and beyond. Each year, we gather on the banks of the Avon River for three days of live music, hands-on workshops, camping, and shared fun for all ages.
