Kitchen Party!


We are thrilled to announce a music series that will happen every Saturday all summer in various locations in our beautiful village!

We have a full line-up of wildly talented musicians booked through the summer and we can’t wait to share this great music with you. Shows will start with a revolving house band featuring Kim Barlow and members of the Dearlies, Ida Red, and Acadia faculty Mark Adam and Nic D’Amato. We will play a set of traditional Maritime music reinterpreted, fun singalongs and familiar anthems. The guests will play a set, and then we’ll have a jam session, open to all.

This is a Kitchen Party to celebrate the rich musical traditions found in the Maritimes and all the good things Canning has to offer. There are so many!

Huge thanks to Alice Hartling and Mike Gill at The Village Coffeehouse for providing their beautiful space to launch this series. We're now a roving Kitchen Party and will be popping up in different locations around Canning - stay tuned as details unfold.

Tickets are $10 and kids are free. If you book tickets online, send us a message to reserve seats for your kids.
