Cicada Fest – October 2 and 3
Music and community coming together in support of the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre!
Cicada Music & Arts Festival is a beloved annual event on Henley Island in St. Catharines, Ontario, celebrating the best of Canadian music, local art, and Niagara culture. From indie and folk to roots and rock, Cicada has featured performances from acclaimed artists like The Sheepdogs, July Talk, Half Moon Run & Serena Ryder, alongside emerging talent from across the country.
Enjoy craft food and drink, browse our makers market, and take in the beauty of the Niagara Region while experiencing a festival rooted in community, creativity, and connection.
Founded in memory of Thom Lepp, Cicada carries forward a legacy of gathering, inclusivity, and giving back—and this year is in support of the Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre.
Join us for a weekend of music, art, and good vibes in Niagara.
