Town of Three Rivers’ Arts & Culture Festival

The Town of Three Rivers’ annual Arts & Culture Festival returns to Montague from July 30 to August 3. This five-day, family-friendly event transforms the town into a vibrant hub of art and culture.

Enjoy live art demos, a bustling artisan market, food trucks, inflatables, and hands-on activities. Bingo remains a fan favourite. New this year: Wise Skateboarding workshops for kids, teens, and parents, plus a foam and dance party for all ages.

On August 2, the Festival Parade kicks off at 11 am. The Montague Marina and Waterfront will host a Kids’ Zone with inflatables and art activities, while performances begin at noon, featuring Madame Abbey, Molley Whuppie, a Downstreet Dance workshop, and the Three Rivers Got Talent contest. Other highlights include mobile axe throwing (Axe’s Eh?), Nerf Wars, and a firefighter challenge.

The evening wraps up with live music from Mind Gaze, The Solid Line, and headlining artist Nolan Compton, followed by fireworks over the Montague sky.

The grand finale on August 3 is DiverseCity, a celebration of global culture with music, food, dance, sport, and martial arts demos representing over 48 countries.

All events are free or low-cost and open to all ages. For full details and schedules, visit threeriversfestival.com.
