The festival site in Mackin Park includes a main stage tent where mostly Canadian folk, Celtic, and world music artists perform. There is also a children's stage, a workshop tent, art and history displays, tours of the Mackin House Museum, and traditional food including tourtière, poutine, smoked meat sandwiches, maple taffy, and maple sugar pies.[3]
