The Westben Summer Festival is a signature outdoor arts celebration that brings world‑class music and performance to the scenic countryside of Northumberland County, Ontario. Set on a 50‑acre farm just outside the town of Campbellford, the festival invites audiences from across Canada and beyond to experience live music in nature, where the sights and sounds of the landscape are as much a part of the performance as the artists themselves.The 2026 festival continues Westben’s longstanding tradition of offering an eclectic, genre‑spanning lineup that includes classical concerts, jazz, folk and world music, vocal and choral performances, Broadway‑inspired productions, and more. This vibrant season — running throughout the summer months from June through August — showcases both celebrated Canadian musicians and rising talents in settings that enhance connection, creativity, and community.
Westben’s 2026 Summer Festival unfolds across three distinct venues, each offering a different way to experience live performance in nature:
The Barn — A custom‑built, 400‑seat timber‑frame acoustic marvel where walls and massive doors open to the surrounding meadow, allowing music to blend with birdsong and breeze. It’s the centerpiece venue for many headline concerts and large ensemble performances.
Willow Hill — A natural outdoor amphitheatre set beside a serene pond and shaded by a majestic willow tree. Audiences are welcome to bring lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy a picnic while listening to music under open skies.
The Campfire — An intimate outdoor setting designed for close‑up performances, storytelling, and communal gatherings. Guests can enjoy music alongside campfire treats like s’mores and conversation with performers.
Throughout the season, the festival also features curated experiences — from gourmet picnics and guided nature walks to interactive workshops and community events — reinforcing Westben’s mission to connect people through music, imagination, and the natural world.
Whether you’re a lifelong music lover or discovering Westben for the first time, the 2026 Summer Festival offers unforgettable experiences where artistry and nature meet.
