A music festival in Nova Scotia has been cancelled.
Southshore Summerfest was set to bring a select group of artists to Atlantic Canada, in the town of Shelburne. It was originally scheduled for August 2 at Shelburne County Exhibition Grounds.
On July 28, the organization announced the event’s cancellation on Facebook, citing “unforeseen logistical issues” beyond their control.
“This was a difficult decision, but ultimately necessary to maintain the standards and safety we set for all our events. We want to sincerely thank everyone who supported the planning, including sponsors, partners, artists and the community,” they shared.
Juno award-winning musicians — and Nova Scotia natives — hip-hop artist Classified and R&B singer JRDN, were set to headline this weekend’s festival alongside seven other emerging artists, including Universal Soul, Gabrielle Sofia and Levon the Prince. A “special guest” slot was to be announced on the lineup, but wasn’t filled before the cancellation.
"It’s important to clarify that the artists involved were in no way responsible for the cancellation. They were prepared and enthusiastic about taking part in what was intended to be a remarkable event,” said the Summerfest team.
“We understand this is a major disappointment, and we share that sentiment deeply. Southshore Summerfest was built with heart, and while this chapter didn’t go as planned, our vision for bringing world-class entertainment to the South Shore remains stronger than ever.”
Following the announcement, Summerfest notified concertgoers that refunds for all ticket holders would begin over the next few days.
“We sincerely appreciate your patience as we work through this process — please know that every effort is being made to ensure a smooth and timely resolution.”
