We are truly saddened to hear that the Electric Pines Music Festival will not be happening this year due to the wood fire ban and the approaching hurricane. 💔
We know how much love and effort goes into this event, and we’re confident you’ll make an incredible comeback next year. 🌲⚡️💃
Stay strong, Electric Pines family — we’ll be there dancing with you in 2026! 🎶✨
Dear Electric Pines Family,
It is with deep devastation that we must announce the cancellation
of this year’s Electric Pines Music Festival.
Despite our tireless efforts, including exploring more than a dozen
alternate locations, we are unable to secure a safe and compliant
venue under the current Nova Scotia Provincial Woods Ban.
With only 10 days left, there is simply no way forward. We never
could have anticipated these circumstances, but we must respect
provincial laws and support the efforts to keep our communities safe,
specially as wildfires continue, and no rain is in the forecast aside from
the possibility of a hurricane days before our scheduled opening.
We know how much our community was looking forward to coming
together, and we share in your devastation. This festival is more than an
event, it is a family, a tradition, and a place built by the passion and
dedication of so many. Losing it this year is heartbreaking beyond words.
Behind the scenes, we are working on next steps, including ticket
refunds, rescheduling headliners for other shows, and planning
for next year’s festival, which will be bigger and better than ever.
Full details on what is happening next will be shared
within two weeks via our website, social media, and email.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this incredibly
difficult time. Though this year has been lost, the spirit of Electric Pines
lives on, and we will return stronger, with more music, more love,
and more Electric Pines magic.
💚 With gratitude,
Jen Partridge
Festival Manager &
The Electric Pines Team
