Spud Fest is a shoestring, DIY, backyard music festival, established in the summer of 2020. This summer will mark Spud Fest’s seventh year! It’s nothing fancy, but it has a ton of heart. The festival is built on a celebration of inclusivity and creativity, and aims to bring together community members of all ages and backgrounds to appreciate art and music. Just as there are many varieties of potato, Spud aims to program a wide range of music genres that’ll keep the mashes boogying all day and night long. Spud Fest is a completely non-profit event, with all proceeds besides those required for operation costs to be donated to charity. This Year’s Donation Proceeds from Spud Fest VI will be donated to&nbsp;Harbourview Training Center - a non-profit organization located in Souris, Prince Edward Island, which provides on site employment and job training as well as a broad range of support services to clients with intellectual disabilities. <img width="986" height="1478" width_o="986" height_o="1478" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/14f585488a60fc0391a653b01fdafb4f187d2b2fad363dfa6f7b4888003fe1e7/Spud7.jpeg" data-mid="146178673" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/986/i/14f585488a60fc0391a653b01fdafb4f187d2b2fad363dfa6f7b4888003fe1e7/Spud7.jpeg" /> History of Spud The festival was born of necessity - the year it began, COVID had put the brakes on music festivals, but we still craved a space where people could share and enjoy music, see old friends, meet new people, and bond in a creative space. The relatively relaxed gathering limits and low instances of COVID on PEI meant that we were positioned to do just that. While bringing folks together, we also saw an opportunity to fundraise for charities and not-for-profit organizations we believe in. Since its inception, Spud Fest has proudly donated over $9,000 in proceeds, and created an event that lets us share the beauty of our tiny town with people who may not have traveled here otherwise. https://spudfestpei.party/IMG-Mash-Pit Thu, 23 Jun 2022 07:31:56 +0000 Spud Fest PEI https://spudfestpei.party/IMG-Mash-Pit https://spudfestpei.party/Getting-Here Thu, 23 Jun 2022 07:33:52 +0000 Spud Fest PEI https://spudfestpei.party/Getting-Here Getting Here ︎ Address 93 St. Catherines Rd.Souris, PEIC0A 2B0 Spud Fest is held in Sqoljwe’katik, Epekwitk, Mi’kma’ki, on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq First Nation.
