🎵 We are so excited to welcome Amanda Rheaume to Stewart Park Festival on July 18!

A Citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario with deep Red River roots, Rheaume is an award-winning singer-songwriter whose gutsy, guitar-driven heartland rock weaves history, resilience, and heart into every song.

Her newest album, 'The Truth We Hold,' takes listeners on a journey across Métis homelands, celebrating strength, joy, and interconnectedness. Critics and fans alike have taken notice, earning her the 2024 Spirit of Folk Award and the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award for Indigenous Songwriter of the Year.

🎄Merry Christmas from the Stewart Park Festival Committee! 🎶

As we wrap up the year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the 2025 Stewart Park Festival—our volunteers, sponsors, partners, performers, and our amazing community. Your enthusiasm keeps this festival thriving year after year.

Some of our committee members gathered in their finest ugly Christmas sweaters for a little festive cheer last week (we promise the rest of the team is just as spirited behind the scenes!).

We’re already hard at work getting ready for a major milestone—our 35th Stewart Park Festival, happening July 17–19, 2026! We can’t wait to celebrate with you and make it a year to remember.

Wishing you all a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with music, laughter, and community.

See you in 2026!
