Gussapolooza Music Festival

Pack your tent and head north for Gussapolooza, a beloved independent music and arts festival now in its fifth year just outside the city in Cookstown. Four stages of Canadian rock, folk, country, and alt with 40-plus artists make for a weekend that genuinely earns its reputation — and the new WonderGround arts zone, wellness programming, and Kids Zone mean there's something for everyone you'd want to bring along. Consider this your warm-weather escape done right. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
