Barnside Harvest Festival 2026 Brings Three Days of Music and Community to Ladner
Barnside Harvest Festival returned to Paterson Park in Ladner from September 11 to 13, 2026, bringing three days of live music, local vendors, food, family-friendly activities, and plenty of reasons to stick around all weekend. Now in its fourth year, the festival continued to build on its community-focused atmosphere while putting a major spotlight on Canadian music and some familiar names from the Canadian and international music scenes.
Friday kicked things off with a full evening of music on the Barnside Brewing Main Stage. Tsawwassen First Nation artist Bryce Williams opened the day before Uncle Strut and Hotel Mira took the stage. JJ Wilde followed, leading into the first of the weekend’s major headliners, Marianas Trench. The Vancouver band closed out Friday with a set filled with songs familiar to longtime fans and brought a strong finish to the festival’s opening night.
The Dueck Cadillac Stage gave festivalgoers another place to discover local and emerging talent throughout the weekend. Friday’s lineup included Clare Twiddy, Bealby Point and Fake Shark, giving audiences a mix of singer-songwriter, alternative and rock sounds alongside the Main Stage performances.
Saturday expanded the festival into a full day of music. The Main Stage lineup began with HB Wild and The Heels before Jake Vaadeland & The Sturgeon River Boys brought their roots and bluegrass-inspired sound to the afternoon. The Washboard Union followed, setting the stage for Saturday night’s headliners. Big Wreck took the stage at 7 p.m., followed by Smash Mouth, who closed out the night.
There was plenty happening on the Dueck Cadillac Stage throughout Saturday as well, with Annika Catharina, Three Nines Fine, Jackson Hollow, Imogen Clark and Daniel Wesley keeping the music going between Main Stage sets. With several styles represented throughout the day, Saturday offered one of the festival’s broadest musical lineups.
Sunday brought another full day of music and wrapped up the festival with two major Canadian headliners. The Main Stage schedule included DJ Larry Hennessey, the Delta Police Pipe Band, All the King’s Men and Imogen Clark before Limblifter and The Grapes of Wrath took the audience through the afternoon. Kim Mitchell followed at 7 p.m., bringing some classic Canadian rock to the festival, before Tom Cochrane closed the weekend at 8:30 p.m.
The Dueck Cadillac Stage continued the Sunday lineup with Marlie Collins, Daryl Burgess, Miina and Kim Churchill. It gave festivalgoers plenty of options throughout the afternoon and evening, whether they wanted to catch a familiar headliner or spend some time exploring another stage.
Music was only part of the Barnside experience. The festival grounds were filled with vendors and makers, giving attendees a chance to browse local goods between sets. There were also food options, festival activities, and plenty of spaces to hang out with friends and family. Free Chapman’s ice cream was another popular festival treat, while 50/50 draws added another bit of fun throughout the weekend.
For those looking for a more relaxed festival experience, the VIP Lounge offered covered seating, a private bar, complimentary non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, appetizers and desserts, along with views close to the Main Stage.
The festival also continued to highlight local food and drink, with the BC Craft Beer Corner featuring breweries from around the province on Sunday.
From Marianas Trench and JJ Wilde opening the weekend to Smash Mouth and Big Wreck taking over Saturday, and Kim Mitchell and Tom Cochrane closing things out Sunday, Barnside Harvest Festival 2026 offered a little bit of everything across three days. With its mix of established artists, emerging performers, local vendors, and community-focused activities, the festival once again turned Paterson Park into a busy weekend gathering place for music fans in Ladner and beyond!
