FAQs

Springtide Music Festival is a collection of live music shows over 3 days each June in downtown Uxbridge venues including restaurants, bars, shops, a craft brewery, and historic buildings. With a festival wristband you can explore the festival route freely, make new discoveries and enjoy incredible live music across multiple stages all festival long!

You can now book tickets from a selection of single venue curated shows including our Festival Launch Party on Thursday, Saturday Matinée at St. Andrews–Chalmers Church, evening programming at the Festival mainstage on, and after parties at Wixan’s Bridge on Friday & Saturday nights on the lower level, which are restricted to ages 19+. This is a more affordable way to attend the festival, however please note that access is limited to the ticketed venue during scheduled times. If you plan on seeing 4 or more artists, the single day pass or Weekend Wristband is more cost effective.

Buying a Festival wristband grants you entry to any of our venues all over downtown Uxbridge. A single day pass or Weekend Wristband is the best way to take advantage of the weekend’s festival programming with full access to stages from Friday to Saturday (subject to capacity).

We recommend purchasing Weekend Wristbands early as they are in limited supply.

Check out the festival schedule online to help you find your favourite band and plan your weekend. Printed copies of the full schedule with a venue map will be available at the Festival Ticket Hub, the Uxbridge Tourism Trailer, and all downtown venues.

If you have purchased tickets ahead of time, you can exchange your Friday, Saturday, or Weekend passes for wristbands at the Springtide Music Festival Hub, located at 88 Brock Street West at H. Bee Architecture, during festival hours.  

For single event concerts and shows, ticket holders can go directly to the venue to access the event.

If you are interested in only seeing one artist, single venue curated shows may be the right choice for you. This option grants access to certain venues and times throughout the festival weekend. You will be able to see 3-4 artists at a single venue during the scheduled times. Note that there is limited availability in this ticket category.

All tickets can be purchased using our online store, or you at The Hub (located at 88 Brock St. W) during festival hours. If you are purchasing a single venue ticket, they can be purchased directly at the gate of the respective venue based on availability. Single venue shows include access to the Mainstage on Saturday (doors at 5pm), St. Andrew’s–Chalmers Church, or Wixan’s Bridge Basement (19+). See the festival map for venue locations.

Debit and Credit are the only methods of payment accepted this year for the purchase of festival tickets and festival merchandise. Cash may be accepted for artist merchandise and for individual venues with various methods of payment.

This is the best part of Springtide! You can explore a variety of stages from one end of the festival map to the other, across a 750 m strip along our main, historic downtown street.
