“I want to congratulate the Harvest Music Festival on another successful year. It brings huge crowds to downtown Fredericton every September and inspires new musicians.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Harvest Music Festival on another incredibly successful year. For 36 years, the festival has been bringing downtown Fredericton to life every September, with huge crowds filling the streets for six full days to celebrate the power of live music. Harvest draws tens of thousands of people to downtown Fredericton. With 400 musicians and 700 volunteers, it is one of Fredericton’s biggest events of the year. This year, tickets to the Barenaked Ladies and Graham Nash sold out in one minute. The Beaches were there, as well as Sloan and a ton of local acts like the Hypochondriacs and Chillteens. I remember as a teenager watching from outside the tents dreaming of what it might be like to play on a stage like that, and I know the festival continues to grow and inspire the next generation of musicians. Harvest is a testament to Fredericton’s love of culture, community and having a good time. Congratulations on another successful year. Happy harvest, everyone.
