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 experiences for all ages.

The spirit of Full Circle continues year-round through Sofa Sundays—a monthly series of intimate concerts in the Artists Landing Art Gallery. These shows feature both local and touring musicians, offering artists a welcoming stage and audiences a chance to enjoy music in a relaxed, close-up setting. Sofa Sundays carry the heart of the festival forward, creating space for inspiration, conversation, and community throughout the year.

Now in its 16th year, Full Circle is still about the same things that started it all: people, music, and the power of gathering together. Each year, the circle grows a little stronger, thanks to everyone who joins in.
