The Festival Experience One of the defining features of Sussex Fundy Fest is its commitment to showcasing emerging and regional talent. The 2026 lineup continues that tradition with a strong roster of East Coast performers each day. These performers add depth and variety to the lineup, ensuring that each day offers more than just mainstream hits and the opportunity to see and hear some of country music’s future stars, in a smaller festival environment. This structure allows for a natural build in energy—from local and emerging acts early in the day to high-profile headliners closing each night, before moving the festivities to the Mule Bar & Grill for the afterparty. Beyond the amazing artist lineup, Sussex Fundy Fest offers a full festival experience that captures the essence of summer in New Brunswick.
Camping and Community With on-site camping at Sussex KOA Journey, plus other nearby camping options, many attendees choose to stay for the full weekend. The campground becomes an extension of the festival itself. Plus, there are many other area accommodations like the All Season, Amsterdam Inn, Covered Bridge In, Adairs Wilderness Lodge offering great rates for you to take in all the action and after-parties at The Mule Bar and Grill to keep the party going.
An Intimate Alternative Unlike massive multi-stage festivals, Fundy Fest maintains a more intimate scale. This allows for closer interaction between artists and fans, better sightlines, and a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s the kind of event where you can truly feel part of the experience rather than just a face in the crowd. Bring your lawn chair and enjoy the day’s festivities. A Growing Cultural Event As it enters its fourth year at the Sussex Drive-In, Sussex Fundy Fest is quickly establishing itself as a key player in Atlantic Canada’s festival scene. Its success lies in its ability to strike a balance—between big-name entertainment and grassroots authenticity, between professional production and small-town charm. The result is a festival
