Meadows Music Festival 2026 – Day 1 (of 2)
May 29, 2026
Fergus ON

Now in its fourth year, the Meadows Music Festival had another amazing year! Not only showcasing great bands and good food but the weather also cooperated this year.

As has become customary the first day of the festival has a country flavour.

Local artist Harry Lee Follon and band kicked off the festival.

Listowel, Ontario country artist Kari June inaugurated the Main Stage.

Originally from Pembroke, Ontario country artist Jason Blaine kept the great country vibes going to the now growing crowd.

Janna Leduc‘s music blends the storytelling heart of the country genre with a rock edge; a sound that the crowd responded to.

BC native and Canadian Country music Awards nominee Cameron Whitcomb performed the rough-edged country, and punk-leaning pop he has become well known for.

Local Elora ON emerging country artist Chris Clark and band closed down the Back 40 stage.

Dallas Smith has a track record of noteworthy success and was an inspired closer for day 1 of the festival.
