We see your excitement about artist Meet and Greets at Rock the Harbour 2026, so we wanted to share a quick note! 🎵

Any performer who chooses to take part in a Meet and Greet will do so at the merchandise area, located in General Admission.

That means you do not need a VIP ticket to access the merch area, or any Meet and Greet opportunities that may be offered.

VIP tickets include table seating, VIP-only washrooms, premium bar offerings, and a custom premium menu from Evan’s Seafood. Meet and Greets, however, will take place in the GA merch area if offered by participating artists.

We’ll share more details closer to the festival as they become available.

🎟️ Tickets and weekend passes are available now at rocktheharbour.ca

As a non-profit festival, community support means everything to the success of Rock the Harbour.

As we get closer to August, seeing the excitement, conversations, and passionate support continue to build reminds us exactly why this festival matters.

Rock the Harbour was created to bring classic rock fans together on the Dartmouth Waterfront for a weekend of unforgettable live music, singalong hits, and shared memories.

It is also an important way for Alderney Landing to give back. Proceeds from the festival help support free and low-cost community programming throughout the year, including the annual Kiwanis Mother Goose Festival and Alderney Landing’s annual Fire and Water Cultural Festival.

We can’t thank you enough for your continued support of Rock the Harbour. We are grateful to have such a passionate community behind this festival, and we can’t wait to welcome you back this summer.

Tickets are available now at the link in our bio.

If you know where to look, great live music is never too hard to find here in the Maritimes.

We’re lucky to be surrounded by a community of talented performers, and venues of all shapes and sizes that know what it takes to put on a great show.

This summer’s Rock the Harbour festival might feel like it’s still a ways away, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to support great Canadian artists.

There’s never been a better time to show some love to your favourite local bands, musicians, vocalists, photographers, and everyone who shares their art with the world.

Where’s your go-to spot for live music in the Maritimes? Let us know 👀💭
