2019 Festival of Arts, Music and Hospitality

MAY 22 – MAY 26

5th Annual

Welcome to Bordertown, Sackville’s presentation of some of the very best we have to offer in Arts, Music and Hospitality. Sackville has become known for its small town charm, combined with an exciting and renowned arts scene and its many small but critically acclaimed festivals. Bordertown is a five-day festival that brings these elements together into a variety packed weekend. So explore Sackville, take in the live music, eat a delicious local meal, see some art and take a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk. There’s something for everyone at Bordertown and if you’re adventurous you might just find some surprises too! A wide range of local businesses and organizations have come together to make this possible, including the Sackville Festival of Early Music, Live Bait Theatre, The Owens Art Gallery, Sackville Art Hive, Painted Pony, the Vogue Cinema, and many more. It has been very exciting to bring all of these dynamic groups and individuals together to put on what will be a thrilling weekend to kick off the summer tourist season.

 We look forward to spending the weekend with you.

2019 MUSIC

Many Canadian music fans know Joel Plaskett. Multiple JUNO Award winning songwriter. Multiple times on the Polaris Music Prize Short List. Sold out clubs and concert halls from one side of the country to the other. But since 2017 he’s been sharing the spotlight with his earliest musical

influence - his father, Bill. Solidarity, released on the Pheromone label in February of 2017, is the first full-length musical collaboration between father and son and was followed by a cross-country tour. The album is a powerful collection of original and traditional songs, reflecting the duo’s individual journeys and personal politics.

Tickets $34.50 in advance at Town Hall or at www.sackville.com/bordertown, $40 at the door.

SACKVILLE FESTIVAL OF EARLY MUSIC PRESENTS: ALKEMI

Almost four years ago a fascinating instrument landed on the shores of Nova Scotia with

Kirsty Money: the nyckelharpa. A medieval instrument that is now having a revival in Europe, the nyckelharpa has many stories to tell through its depth of sound and magical resonance. Kirsty plays the Swedish nyckelharpa, and although there is not a direct history with the instrument in North America, it’s unique sound and ability to enhance existing folk music traditions has led Kirsty and Jude to start exploring the vast traditional repertoire embedded in Maritime Canada. A tapestry of Swedish, Celtic and original tunes await listeners at the Bordertown Festival.
