About bainfest
Nestled in the heart of River John, Bainfest is a cozy, family-run festival that celebrates music, community, and the simple joy of summer. With no long lineups and a relaxed BYOB vibe, you’re free to kick back in your lawn chair under our spacious 40’x80’ tent and soak in unforgettable performances from Atlantic Canada’s finest artists.
What makes Bainfest special? It’s the intimate crowd - never more than 400 guests, the oceanfront views, and the up-close connection to the music. Whether you're dancing barefoot in the grass or sharing laughs with friends by the shore, Bainfest offers a laid-back, personal festival experience you won’t find anywhere else.
