The team at AREA 506 is excited to announce that the Boxcar Country Music Festival is back for a second year, and extending festival season in southern New Brunswick. For its second year, the award-winning festival will be bigger and better – and a day longer. The Saint John waterfront will come alive Thursday, July 25 through Saturday, July 27 with headline sets from Canadian country music favourites Brett Kissel, The Reklaws, and High Valley along with a diverse supporting lineup, including a broad selection of New Brunswick artists.
“We are thrilled to able to build on the success of the inaugural Boxcar Country Music Festival and bring another extended weekend of music to the waterfront” says Ray Gracewood, AREA 506 Founder and Festival Committee Chair. “We had incredible feedback from country music fans after last year, and we’ve been working hard to deliver another exciting west-meets-East Coast experience that really extends beyond the concert“
Similar in format to the popular AREA 506 Festival, the Boxcar Country Music Festival will take place in the space adjoining the AREA 506 Waterfront Container Village – winner of The VIA Rail Canada Innovator of the Year Award at the 2022 Canadian Tourism Awards. The Village will host a program of country-themed, family-friendly experiential activities including a line-dancing workshop, food trucks, and the vendor market throughout the weekend.
Boxcar Country Music Festival will offer general admission, VIP, and the popular pod-based ticketing options for this year’s event, and will be open to all ages, with free admission offered to those 12 years of age and under with adult accompaniment.
