Cicada Music & Arts Festival is proud to announce a new partnership with the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre, grounded in a shared belief that music, art, and community can play a powerful role in healing. 🎶🫶

Through this partnership, we’ll be supporting trauma-informed music programming for children and youth at Camp Acorn, helping create opportunities for self-expression, creativity, and connection in a safe and supportive environment.

We’re honoured to stand alongside an organization doing such important work in our community. 💛

Named after the backyard where Cicada first began, this stage is a tribute to our founder Thom and the community spirit that helped grow a backyard gathering into a festival.

Presented by FirstOntario Credit Union, this special corner of the island is home to intimate performances, local creativity, and some of the weekend’s favourite discoveries.✨

Meet this year’s lineup:
Limestone Chorus
Dover Lynn Fox
Maya Ritchie
Lydia Stephen
Heed & Hollow
