The festival will take place in the Village of Minto, New Brunswick. Part of the newly-formed Municipality of Grand Lake, Minto is located roughly 45 minutes from the Capital City of Fredericton, 1hr 45 minutes from Moncton, and 1h 30 minutes from Saint John.
Our main stage will be featured at Tiny Trails, located at 164 New England Road in Minto, New Brunswick. (P.s. If you’ve looked it up on google maps, please ignore the street view photo… they’re working on having that updated). Visit tinytrails.ca for more information, or better yet, stop by and check them out during the weekends in the summer! Signage will be in place to guide you in on festival weekend.
The second stage is at the Minto Legion, fittingly located at 16 Legion Street. This venue is located about a 2 minute drive from Tiny Trails.
Why NOT have a festival here?? With such a unique history, and an inspirational comeback in the works, the Village of Minto is up-and-coming and we want to celebrate everything that this little village and the wonderful people in it have to offer. The festival was founded by dedicated music lovers and supporters of the Mountain Bike Minto trail system built on the historical coal mines in the community. Drawing inspiration from the rich musical and cultural roots of the community and blending them with the new opportunities the trails bring for celebration is the inspiration for this unique event.
As long as the show is not sold out- you sure can! But it is recommended that you buy them in advance as we have limited capacity, and this is going to be the hottest show in town!
Our Saturday night Legion show is 19+, but all shows at the Tiny Trails stage are all ages!
Tiny Trails has limited campsites available, check out their website for availability.
There are other options in the area as well- visit the Municipality of Grand Lake website for more https://municipalityofgrandlake.ca/camping/. If camping isn’t your thing, the Queen’s County Inn is a quick 20 minute drive from the venue, check out AirBnb for unique cottages and other options in the area!
You bet! There will be free music for all ages at Tiny Trails from 1-5pm on Sunday. Check back to our schedule soon for the lineup!
