George Street fest is from August 1st - August 7th, 2024.

Since it began in 1985, the George Street Festival has been a flagship event of summer in St. John’s, Newfoundland. This celebration of music, entertainment, and culture has been bringing people together for almost four decades — and it’s just getting better!

George Street is located downtown St. John's is two blocks of bars, pubs, restaurants – and nothing else. It's the centre of the entertainment district and its unique reputation has spread far and wide. At the heart of the street is an outdoor stage where musicians play everyday of the festival. The entire street is shut down, and tickets are sold for entry per day (tickets online as well).

There is something for everyone, and every year includes a wide variety of local, national, and international acts. Whether you’re into indie and alternative, classic rock, country, EDM and dance, or a good Irish-Newfoundland “Kitchen Party”, George Street Festival has a night just for you.

The 206th anniversary of the royal St. John's Regatta will be held on August 7th, 2024 (weather dependent).

The day is a civic holiday for the entire St. John’s area and is a full day of Fixed Seat Rowing Races. The decision to go ahead with the Regatta is made early that morning (if not it proceeds the next day). Because of this, grocery stores, some businesses and liquor stores are closed for the day - so plan accordingly!

The shores of beautiful and historic Quidi Vidi Lake are encircled by booths and concessions offering all visitors fun, food and games of chance. Throughout the day the crowds can reach as high as 30-50 thousand people as the citizens of St. John’s and all our visitors enjoy a “Day at the Races”.
